Where can I get Diaphrams?

No, this isn’t a dirty thread. I’m looking for diaphrams that will fit my Rivirossi smoothside passenger coaches. Do they actually connect the coaches or just “touch” together?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.

When in doubt, I usually check Discount Trains Online - this what you’re looking for?

I know my LHS has some, too, but DTO has a bigger selection.

I would highly reccommend using American Limited Models working diaphrams. I use them and they are great. I even replaced all the diaphrams on my Walther’s cars with American Limited diaphrams. They are a little tedious to construct, but they work very nicely. You will want the face of the knuckle of the coupler to come just past the striker plate. I provided the below link as a reference.
