The prototype: EuroCity services operated by Deutsche Bahn AG

Deutsche Bahn's EuroCity trains are an important part of the international long-distance rail network in Europe. Since the 1990s, these trains have connected major cities such as Berlin, Hamburg, Amsterdam and Copenhagen and offer travelers fast and comfortable access to Europe's major cities. In the current Era VI (from 2007), the EuroCity coaches are equipped with modern service elements and an optimized interior, which further increases travel comfort. The striking ICE livery symbolizes speed and innovation - characteristics that still characterize DB AG today.

ACME - High-quality models with Italian precision

The Italian manufacturer ACME has made a name for itself with its detailed replicas of European railroad vehicles. The attention to detail, combined with precise workmanship, makes the models from ACME a highlight on any layout. The set of 4 AC55329 is a prime example of this quality: The wagons have a faithful reproduction of the wagon bodies, fine lettering and an authentic reproduction of the bogies. With this set, model railroaders can experience the flair of international rail travel up close.

Technical details of the ACME AC55329 EuroCity set

The set includes four passenger coaches with a total length over buffers of 1,212 mm, which makes for an impressive train set. The carriages are designed for the 2L direct current system (DC) and offer optimum running characteristics thanks to the NEM coupling shaft mount with close coupling kinematics. This allows a close and realistic spacing between the cars without compromising driving stability. The vehicles can be used on standard H0 tracks and also master smaller radii with ease.

Authentic color scheme and new service pictograms

The coaches are painted in the elegant ICE livery, which offers a modern and high-quality appearance thanks to its combination of white and red decorative stripes. The new service pictograms on the coaches are applied exactly in accordance with the current DB AG standards and ensure a true-to-the-original appearance. These small but important details make the model a perfect replica of the original EuroCity coaches.

Outstanding workmanship and durability

ACME relies on the highest quality standards in production. The robust car bodies and precise workmanship guarantee a long service life and trouble-free operation. The windows are inserted cleanly and without streaks, the fine printing is clear and easy to read and the interior design is rich in detail. The bogies and running gear are also realistically reproduced and contribute to the overall aesthetics of the set.

Possible extensions and accessories

The ACME AC55329 set offers numerous expansion options to make your layout even more realistic. The carriages can easily be equipped with retrofittable interior lighting, which allows you to see the detailed interior fittings. Additional wagons or matching DB AG locomotives can also be added to recreate a complete EuroCity train set. ACME offers a wide range of supplementary models that are perfectly matched to this set.

Areas of application: International long-distance trains and European main lines

The set is ideal for model railroad layouts depicting international connections and modern main lines. The carriages can be used in train sets that simulate typical EuroCity connections such as Berlin-Amsterdam, Hamburg-Copenhagen or other international routes. Whether on main lines or branch lines - the ACME wagons provide an authentic representation of modern rail traffic.

Care and maintenance for long-lasting enjoyment

To ensure that the carriages remain in perfect condition in the long term, they should be cleaned regularly and checked for wear. A soft brush is suitable for cleaning to gently remove dust and dirt. The wheelsets and couplings should also be checked regularly and lightly oiled if necessary. This will keep the set ready for operation and ensure long-term enjoyment of your model railway layout.
