The Aristo Heavyweight Diaphragm
This diaphragm is designed for the Aristo Heavyweight cars for when they are modified to closer coupled. The gap between the cars is 1 1/4", and each diaphragm is 5/8". Kadee couplers are used here, and are still truck mounted. The diaphragms are constructed of urethane castings and rubber.
The first two photographs were kindly supplied by John Garrett, and the second two by Fred Gandolfi.
