Model Railroading > N scale caboose-MT coupler question

I'm trying to convert my son's N scale Model Power bay window caboose to Microtrains using a talgo truck/coupler conversion.  This caboose has a shorter wheelbase, thus the coupler need to be extended length.  I have not found a decent conversion yet despite trying to interpret the MT website.  It is a Model Power #3123 bay window caboose.

Thanks!

I don't have any Model Power cabeese, but I found this Con Cor baywindow in my "junk" pile. Is the underframe similar to your MP one?
If so, it looks like the 1002 would work for you.
Although it's a bit more work, the other route would be to just body-mount the classic 1023 couplers, and leave the trucks as is. (I'm assuming you've already removed the stock "rapido" couplers)
They also have a medium length extended coupler, if the 1002 is too long.
