I have used the American Limited ones on most of my Athearn streamliners and also on the F3/F7 diesels. They work quite well, but these are not brass models so I don't know how they will attach; CA I guess.

American Limited Models is one source.  Sheldon prefers this brand.

Another source is Hi Tech Details.

Working Diaphragms on Superliners
Posted by FURXandNORX on Sunday, October 27, 2013 8:32 PM

I am looking to add working diaphragms on some Overland brass Superliner cars. I have the brass ones that shipped with the cars, but having some working ones would be nice. I have searched and have seen options, but I am really looking to hear from somebody who has some.

American Limited Models seems to have some that are close. Precision Scale Co. has something listed but it is special order or something. 

Images of all of these are pretty much useless.
