I'was thinking the same idea this weekend...

I'm imagining several  possibilities,  that are:

Motorless box (Ben's solutions).. (too expensive for a passanger car)
Metal wheel in standard boggies,what you mentioned.. but we need to work in
detail engineering,  (maybe this is the most practical solution)
Use of patins or brushes  over the rail (not very nice)

Consider also conductive paint on plastic wheels. It may not be a good permanent
solution but would allow for experimentation before commissioning tooling to
create metal wheels.
