See attachment for some HO scale samples of cushion draft gear from Details 
West.  Would something like these be of interest to any S scalers?

    Actually it's even simpler than that. Des Planes provides extended draft 
gear  with their Evans boxcars and they just lengthen the coupler body on the 
rear to get the extension. I don't think they offer them as a separate coupler 
product though? If Kadee came up with a similar box  made of metal and stocked 
it as an 802 extended version it would be handy.....DaveBranum
