My track vacuum cleaner car, WT X-108, made by the German company Lux and sold by MRS and Reynauld's has got a decoder. Now I can run this car in every train and let work the car when needed. You can buy this car with decoder but I had a decoder left over from installing sound into my engines.
I've rebuild my car for the Westport Terminal RR. I removed the bumpers and the German style car got grab irons,stir up ladders and and a new paint shop. I've added some lead. So I can change the direction at street trackage, the brushes won't lift the car easily.
