Index Prototype of the Regional Railcar
When STADLER RAIL, Bussnang (Switzerland) unveiled its newly develo-ped regional railcar FLIRT ( Fast Light Innovative Regional Train-set ( Rail-car ) to the public for the first time in June 2004, there was no inkling ofhow successful the product would be on the world market. Originally onlyconceived for Switzerland and perhaps Germany, the FLIRT also develo-ped into an international sales success. Over 400 have now already beenordered throughout Europe. The FLIRT has been sold to countries suchas Italy, Hungary, Poland, Finland and even Algeria. Although designatedas a regional railcar, the FLIRT can also be employed for cross-borderroutes. For example, from Basel to Wiesental in the Black Forest or toFrance. The Eurobahn goes from the Ruhr valley to Venlo in the Nether-lands and from 2009 on the local Salzburg local railway will run to Berch-tesgaden ( Bavaria ).
The FLIRT is of modular design and comes in 2 – 6 parts. Depending onrequirements, a car unit has 4 doors (as city-train version) or 2 doors as aregional train. Both the end bogies are the driving bogies. Key features ofthe FLIRT are its impressive acceleration, powerful braking force and lowweight. Maximum speed = 160 km/h. The car units are connected via Ja-kob-type bogie and have a door-free, open corridor connection. The ma-nufacturer gives the car units letters. The two front units with the driver’scontrols are designated A and B respectively. The middle cars are desi-gnated C, D, E and F depending on the length of the railcar. A four-partrailcar has the units B-C-D-A. We have also adopted this designation inthe operating instructions and spare parts list for your model.
The FLIRT can run in multiple traction and is coupled via a middle buffercoupling. Various railcars also have two standard buffers on the front asimpact protection.

The FLIRT model is modular in design just like the original. Please care-fully take the individual units out of the blister packaging (Fig 1). The unitA and B are completely assembled and ready for use. The unit C and Dare already connected via the bogie and must be connected to the unit Aand B. To do this, please read further under “Coupling the Units”. Theunits A and B each come with a motor. However, only unit A can bedriven individually for test purposes. Unit B only runs when connectedwith the other units.
Take the individual units out of the blister packaging. You can read adesignation (Fig. 2) on the base of the units and on the bogies. It is im-portant to connect the individual units according to the designation.Another combination or transposition of the units can lead to a short-circuit. The unit and the relevant side of the bogie have been given the
same letter (A-A, B-B, C-C etc.).
The four-part version is therefore marked as follows:Continuation, please see page 6

Please proceed as follows. Lay out a soft cloth and place unit A with theroof side on the cloth. Then place the double unit C-D likewise with theroof side on the cloth (Fig. 3a). An 11-pin plug strip A1 is mounted on theboard of the railcar unit; an 11-pin socket strip A2 is on the bogie. Additionally, linksB1 are attached tothe bogie and tothe exterior to pre-centre the bogie inthe railcar unit.
Now carefully slide the railcar unit A in the direction of the double unit C-D (Fig. 3b). When doing this, make sure that the links B1 can slide com-fortably in the apertures B2. As you continue to slide the coupling rod intothe base of the railcar unit, you must now pay attention to the plug stripA1. The straight pins should be able to slide evenly and easily into thesocket strip A2. You may find a small screwdriver C1 useful to correctlyposition a pin. Afterwards you can connect the plug and socket strip
completely. To do this, we recommend applying pressure by using the flatof the screwdriver C2 on the rear D of the coupling rod. Now finally affixthe coupling rod firmly in place on the railcar unit with the two screws E(Fig. 3c).
Repeat the stagesfor the other railcarunits.

The FLIRT railcar model has a 21 + 2 pin decoder interface H. The instal-led interface board has the switching for the stop function. When youwish to convert to digital operation by installing a decoder, the stopfunction is put out of action. For digital operation with stop function weoffer an exchange board available under the spare part number L33980-380-9. Depending on the desired operating system, the requisite switchsetting can be found under the chapter concerning the alternating currentversion.To install a decoder, you need not remove the housing of railcar unit A.The interface is located in the front section on the upper board directlyunder the transformer mock-up J. This part is held with two snap clipsand can be easily released by applying a small screwdriver in the direc-tion of the arrow (Fig. 5).
Putting your DC model into operation Installation of a DCC decoder
Once you have put the railcar together, position it carefully on the track.To do this, we recommend gripping the railcar with one hand around unitA-D and the other around B-C and transporting it to the track
Once it has been positioned on the track your railcar model is ready torun.
In the basic setting the DC model has been configured so that all wheelsare contacted. If you wish to run the car in block track operation or have itautomatically stop in a terminus, please switch the switch S 3 to the stopfunction. You can use switch S 2 to select between wheel contact andoverhead line as collector. In overhead operation with a pantograph, thestop function is not possible, however, the installed LED interior lighting isswitched on in the default setting. Switch S 1 can be used to switch theinterior lighting on or off as desired. For more information, please consultFig. 4. These three switches are located on the main board under the roofof railcar unit A. To operate these switches you must merely either unlockpart F by pressing the side in the direction of the arrow and then liftingupwards, or remove part G by slightly lifting by means of a smallscrewdriver.

Looking after your model
In order to ensure that your model functions correctly over a long period therailcar should be maintained at regular intervals. The model need not beopened to do this. It is perfectly sufficient to turn the model over on a softbase as shown in Fig. 7 without damaging the roof parts and the panto-graphs. Clean the wheel contacts using cotton wool tabs soaked in spiritsand then clean the wheels. However, please do not turn the drive wheels byhand in any circumstances. After cleaning, please use a drop of machine oilto lubricate the bearing points N shown in figure. It is advisable to carry outmaintenance work after approximately 30-40 hours of operation.
The railcar also need not be opened to lubricate the gear parts. It is per-fectly sufficient to swivel the motor bogie to one side as shown in Fig. 8.Then you can look between bogie and running gear and see the worm andworm wheel O and use a pipette to oil all the gear parts P. Then run the rail-car up and down a little. This distributes the oil uniformly.
Use commercially available oils and use a fine cannula or aneedle. Caution: do not use cooking oil or handcream.

Figure 12The alternating current version hasa board with four switches locatedin the roof area of railcar unit A. Fig.12 shows you the position of the in-dividual switches as well as thesetting of the setting positions A orB. The necessary settings, depen-ding on the operation system youwish to employ, can be found inFig. 11, see page 12. These set-tings also apply for the DC opera-tion and digital operation with theboard L33980-380-9 that you mayhave retrofitted.
Please note that the function out-puts on the decoder AUX3 and AUX4 must have the following CV set-tings: CV117 = 15, CV118 = 15, CV129 = 32, CV132 = 16, CV135 = 32,CV138 = 16
If you have decided on a LILIPUT model for the central rail alternating cur-rent system, please observe the following:
This model has a digital decoder in-stalled (ESU Lokpilot) which can beused to power your vehicle eitheron an analogue basis (16 volt AC)or digitally. Please consult the in-structions for use supplied by ESUfor details on how the decoderworks. To collect current from therail between traction rails, a sliderhas been installed on each of thearticulated bogies of the front rail-car unit. Fig. 9 shows the installedslider, Fig. 10 shows the slider re-moved with the retaining bracket R.During installation the retainingbracket simply snaps into two retai-ning lugs. When taking apart,please press the retention arm Sslightly outwards using a smallscrewdriver. Naturally the wheelprofile of the wheel sets has alsobeen adapted to the track systemcommonly in use.
