Piko Rail Jet Passenger Car, “Convert” to Marklin AC?

I would like to add a set of the Piko Rail Jet Passenger Cars to my Marklin, 3 rail, AC layout. It looks like to non-cab cars would work, although I might need to change the couplers.

However, I need to have lighting/rear end markers in the cab car (57672) for block detection. Has anybody done this? What kind of pickup shoes might work?

The best thing is to buy the Piko 56127 Railjet decoder kit. It comes complete with the appropriate slider.

Thanks, that put me on the trail. I did not need a decoder just a pick-up.

The pick-up, slider "grinder" for these cars is "Piko 56112 Gauge H0 AC grinder for Expert passenger car."

There is always somebody on the list who knows the answer to how to find it.

Thanks!!
