All current/new EMUs are either dual voltage capable as deliverered, or
easily convertible with a minimum of extra equipment, dependent on their
initial sphere of operations. Usually a case of adding a pan, and
transformer/converter to a DC unit such as a 450 - the pan controls are
already in the cab panels - or adding shoe gear and wiring to the
equivalent
AC unit such as a 350.

Just to clarify or expand on that, the LM 350/1 only needed 'shoes'
refitting for their current WLL DC use, the 350/2s would need complete shoe
gear, ie pick up shoe, shoe beam and shoe arm (and probably some bogie
wiring).
