I have a Digitrax mounted on the motor and a Soundtrax mounted on the
roof at the rear. Neither has a label visible.

Made my own from styrene. It's about a half-inch deep. Didn't use any
'plan' to do it. Its dimensions are about that of the speaker.
If I were to do another (and I probably will), I picked up a couple of
their 810086 Edgeports.

pulled most of the heavy wiring out, left the dropping resistor in and
wired it to the decoder wires. I don't remember what the stock wiring
looked like.

No problem. Ran it for a day at the Detroit NTS and it did sound good
