ADVICES
---------
The LDD-file you can download from this folder contains the 9V-version of my Stadler FLIRT EMU, while front/tail lights and indoor lights run on internal battery box. Basically two good quality 9V-motors can run the train but I used 1-1 PF train motor attached to each 9V to decrease the speed loss on curves and points. 9V-motors pick up current from tracks (bogie 1 and 5) and they are connected with PF-conversion cable to PF-motors (bogie 2 and 4), the middle (3) bogie is not driven. The green bricks in the LDD-file represent the battery box, the IR-receiver (for lights) and PF-cable connection points. To run this train on 9V you need a stronger transformator between the LEGO Speed Regulator and 230V/50Hz AC, the transformator originally given to LEGO Speed Regulator delivers only 800mA, while you need 2-3A to run it smoothly.

The other option to motorise this train is to go fully PF, in this case you should put train motors as bogie 2 and 4, and if you need better traction on sharp curves also put a PF-motor as bogie 3, while bogie 1 and 5 are not driven. The battery box should be in the middle car with toilette. I advise to use PF IR receiver V2 or SBrick to power the train motors, SBrick is a better choice because it can deliver current up to 3A and has four channels - enough for motors, front/tail lights and indoor lights.

For front/tail lights I used modified PF-leds, which are polarity-sensitive, the method for this modification is described in Railbricks 9, page 21 by Kovács Viktor Péter.

FEATURES
---------
This LEGO-creation is a quite realistic replica of the Hungarian Stadler FLIRT EMU delivered for Hungarian State Railway company (MÁV) between 2006 and 2010. The full MOC contains front/tail lights, indoor lights and a coupler mechanism which allows to connect multiple units.
