With full-length, the drawbar operates as a single ladder span.

The forces are not even through the drawbar, I think they peak at the front of the box. I doubt if tapering out the truss would cause any problems, especially when you consider the coupling plates are just flat, no flanges and only 5mm thick.

There are some still in service. They will have to be disposed of eventually.
