Fleischmann 7770003 N railcar ICE 2, BR 402, 4-teilig, DB AG, Ep. VI, DC-sound

Fleischmann 7770003 N-gauge ICE 2 multiple unit, BR 402, 4-part, DB AG, Era VI, DC sound: The modern high-speed train with impressive sound

The Fleischmann 7770003 N-gauge ICE 2 multiple unit is a detailed replica of the well-known German high-speed train in its modernized version with the redesign look from 2005. This 4-piece set combines realistic digital sound functions with modern technology and authentic design.

The prototype: The ICE 2 - flexibility and performance in long-distance transportation

The ICE 2 was developed to ensure maximum flexibility in operation. As a half train consisting of a class 402 power car, several middle cars and a control car, it offers a wide range of possible uses. Two half-trains can be coupled to form a full set, with control cars preferably coupled to control cars. This allows the power cars at the ends of the train to reach a maximum speed of 250 km/h.

The power cars of the 402 series differ from earlier ICE generations by their modified front, which can be opened for coupling. The driving trailer is also equipped with this modern front. As part of the 2005 redesign, the end cars were given a characteristic green stripe, symbolizing their affiliation with Deutsche Bahn AG and its sustainability efforts.

Era VI: Modern rail transport at the highest level

In Era VI (from 2007), high-speed trains such as the ICE 2 are an indispensable part of international rail transport. The trains are characterized by state-of-the-art technology, high energy efficiency and innovative designs. The ICE 2 in the 2005 redesign look represents this era of technological progress and environmentally conscious travel.

Technical features and equipment

This model of the ICE 2 is equipped with a Next18 sound decoder, which provides realistic operating sounds such as starting, braking and signal noises. The light functions, including headlights and marker lights, can be controlled digitally. The light change in red and white depending on the direction of travel is realized by long-life LEDs.

The interior lighting is prepared and can be retrofitted if required to make the carriages even more realistic. With a length over buffers (LüP) of 625 mm and a minimum radius of 192 mm, the model is ideal for N-gauge layouts. The close coupling kinematics ensure a close distance between the cars and a realistic appearance.

Design and workmanship

The model impresses with its prototypical color scheme in a redesign look with green stripes on the end cars. The precise printing and high-quality materials make the multiple unit a real eye-catcher. The modern technology and intricate details guarantee a realistic operating experience.

Care and maintenance

The locomotive requires little maintenance, but should be cleaned regularly to remove dust and dirt. The axles and moving parts can be lightly oiled to ensure optimum functionality. The LED lighting and electronics are durable, but should be protected from moisture. The Next18 interface makes it easy to adapt or retrofit the digital technology.

Conclusion and purchase recommendation

The Fleischmann 7770003 N-gauge ICE 2 multiple unit with DC sound is an impressive model that perfectly captures the elegance and performance of this famous high-speed train. With its digital sound and light functions, prototypical design and customization options, this model is an ideal choice for model railroaders who want to realistically recreate Era VI on their layout.
