Operational Cushion Type
S Scale Draft Gear Box
(For Sergent Engineering Couplers)
.
Where there is a need, there should be a model or detail part to fill
it. And while comparing my S-Helper Service
cabooses to prototype photos, I found this need.

Note how far the coupler and draft gear extend out past the walk decks
of this caboose in the prototype
photos? The model's couplers nor it's gear boxes are extended. I
wanted to achieve this look and to
offer both a working an non-working version of the draft gear.
Below is the concept for the operational version.
