Hello all, I finished last week my ÖBB railjet train. I designed it in LDD back in 2013, built locomotive and four wagons in the end of 2014, and now, two years after I built the half of the train, now I own the full set. The Siemens Taurus locomotive is followed by Bmpz/2, Bmpz/1, Bmpz/1, Bmpz/1, ARbmpz, Ampz, Afmpz cars, making this train MOC 4 metres long. The 8W train weights around 8 kgs, so I decided to use SBrick to power it. One SBrick is installed in the locomotive, other in the driving car (Afmpz), each runs 2 PF train motors and get powered from AA battery box with rechargeable batteries. The 12 AA batteries enables a full exhibition day run (10 a.m. - 6 p.m.), I put in the last 5 days around 10 km-s into the train. :) I made the train to take standard LEGO-geometry (including more points after each other or sharp turns made of only R40 curves), however the train needed real-time and careful driving through SBrick application when I run it on multiple points and S-curves. Then I put neodinium magnets between couplers and now it works fine with a constant speed set on the screen. Here are some photos and a video showing the train, video also shows how it runs on multiple curves.
