Try to use motor driver IC LM293D for controlling 2 DC motors at a time. You will get connection diagram from Google.

Use 12V 50 Hz AC supply for AC EMU or 6 V DC supply for DC EMU models.
For AC EMU, connect a rectifier (IC available) to develop DC supply and control speed using Arduino.
For DC EMU purchase buck converter.

I am at the age of 63 is in the process of building a model train and was successful in fabricating a gear box with available materials from the scrap market.I am fabricating WAP 7 model engine with easily available materials. I will post my finished gear box picture in my next post.I will be grateful if you people can share with ideas related to design futures of the EMU and the gear box systems.

Urs,
V.Ramakrishnan.

i am avinash from kalyan,and posses the same interest as yours,i too have made a local train modelin way back 1984-85,though it wasnt a scale model but was near to it,with every possible details.it had 2 emus,and 4 coaches.it was running on 12v dc,and was scratch built using alu shits,chanels,angles etc.the mine was used with old winding clocks gear and 12 v motors,the auto system was made with another gear and big wooden disk like turntable .the model was running approx 40 feet alu tracks (self made) the movements were smooth to and fro with precise stops on signals etc.right now i do not have any fotos etc since all washed away in 2005 floods.

Can you share more about how you made the models. I am very eager to know.

If i am allowed here is my email so u can send me some pictures on how u do your finishing touches, like grinding and polishing of the track as well as the track. ernstrudolfhayward@gmail.com

i am also intrested in this field.
you may think about increasing the weight and check power pickup for jerky motion problem.

good work done.
