G Scale Passenger Car Bellows
Posted by Connoquenessing Valley Railroad on Friday, July 3, 2009 2:30 AM

Hello Folks

A friend of mine who models in G scale needs some bellows for his passenger cars. He thinks somebody offers a stock bellows material you can cut to length and fit to your cars.

Do any of you out there know of such a product and where he might buy it?

Thanks in advance.

Warmest regards
Bill Rice-Johnston

 Everyone that I know simply uses strips of folded "cartridge paper" stuck together.  I am sorry -but I don't know of any commercial supplier...

 You can buy the individual diaphragms from USAT, they use them on their F3's made from flexible rubber.
