The draft gear is Cardwell.  It's a friction draft gear, the springs help apply the friction to the coupler to aid with slack.  This type of draft gear was good for heavier cars and were shorter than other draft gear styles.

Thanks for the info Jason!

That Hutch Caboose would be perfect for a 3D print.  Nobody would need more than one, as there WAS only one, so it wouldn't be like trying to afford a unit train worth of cars.  Print the truck frames along with the body and everything would be there.
