I think it will really depend on the model again because many of them dont have room for a full sized draft gear box without modifing either the draft gear box or the truck. Or both. Especially on smaller engines, you have to remove the 3 rail coupler mount tab from the truck, and shorten the draft gear box.
I think the shaved box/short-box approach should work. Shaving the coupler mounting boss off the power trucks is an option.
