The boxcabs arrived from Jack within one week only. Thanks a lot to Jack!
They came with old Bachmann 44ton drives that had been mounted with a new base plate (white element in the front row) Jack built from scratch. I adopted (stole) that very efficient design and built two new baseplates (second row) matching the slightly changed dimensions of the new Bachmann 44ton drive (third row). The centers are enforced to hold the mounting screws later on. The ends are simply clipped into the base plate (notice the four large holes in Jack's base plate). That made the adoption of the new drives very easy.

Next step is to get some lights in the box(cab).
