I’ve dealt with them and they’re very helpful. Feel free to call them if you want more info. They also do custom sound installations in locomotives.

It may be easier to find copper/bronze wipers that you can put onto the trucks. These would provide contact from the axles to the interior of the box car by feeding wires from the wipers through the bottom of the car. The wheels would have to be metal, and one wheel on each axle must not be insulated from the axle. One truck will pick up right rail, and the other left rail. You may need extra weight (if you have room) in the car to insure good electrical pickup, if the car is too light, that could be a problem. Here is a link for the wipers:
