NEW Fleischmann 7770017 N 4er Set Messzug ICE-S BR 410 DB-AG Ep.VI DC-Sound

Fleischmann 7770017 N 4-Piece Set ICE-S BR 410 DB-AG Ep. VI DC Sound – High-Speed Research with Digital Sound

Are you looking for an exceptional ICE for your N-gauge model railroad layout that combines modern high-speed technology with exciting railway research and digital sound? The Fleischmann 7770017 four-car ICE-S test train set from Deutsche Bahn brings one of Germany’s most interesting test trains to your layout. The set consists of two Class 410 power cars and two special measurement cars. With factory-installed digital technology, switchable sound functions, and LED lighting, this special ICE is a highlight for enthusiasts of modern Era VI rail vehicles.

Prototype: ICE-S – Deutsche Bahn’s high-speed test train

The ICE-S of the 410.1 series is a specially equipped high-speed measurement and test train operated by Deutsche Bahn. Unlike ordinary ICE trains, it is not used for regular passenger service but is operated by DB Systemtechnik for test, measurement, and certification runs. Its primary task is to test new high-speed lines and innovative railway technology under real-world operating conditions. The train consists of two modified ICE-2 power cars and specially equipped measurement cars. During test runs, the interaction between the wheel and rail, current collection between the pantograph and the overhead wire, driving dynamics, and vibrations are examined, among other things. Modern control and safety systems such as ETCS are also tested. Before new high-speed lines are put into service, the ICE-S conducts extensive test and acceptance runs, thereby making an important contribution to rail safety.

Four-car ICE-S train set with two power cars and a measurement car

The Fleischmann 7770017 train set replicates the characteristic four-car configuration of the ICE-S. The set consists of the powered power car 410 101-0, the two measurement cars 810 101-6 and 810 102-4, and the non-powered power car 410 102-8. This unique configuration differs significantly from standard ICE passenger trains. While the two power cars provide the train’s distinctive appearance, the measurement cars positioned between them perform the extensive technical inspections required by the full-scale prototype. With a total length over the buffers of 588 mm, this impressive train set immediately catches the eye on modern N-gauge model railroad layouts.

Model Technology & Digital Sound Functions

The Fleischmann 7770017 is designed for digital DC operation and features factory-installed digital technology with a Next18 decoder and a function decoder. The digitally controllable sound functions complement the running experience with an appropriate soundscape and make operating this extraordinary test train particularly lifelike. Power is provided by the motorized power car with a flywheel and four powered axles. Two traction tires support power transmission to the tracks. Thus, the model combines the characteristic ICE design with modern drive and digital technology for a varied model railroad experience.

LED Lighting & Additional Lighting Functions

The Fleischmann ICE-S features direction-dependent LED lighting with a white three-light headlight and two red tail lights. An additional lighting function is also available. The lighting complements the high-speed train’s distinctive appearance and creates a realistic effect, especially when entering a station or during test runs at dusk. Combined with the digitally controllable sound functions, this creates an engaging driving experience that underscores the unique character of this measurement and test train.

Visual Features & Retrofitable Interior Lighting

This new release from Fleischmann depicts the ICE-S in its special configuration as a high-speed measurement and test train. The distinctive shape of the modified ICE-2 power cars and the two special measurement cars give the set a high degree of recognizability. The set comes equipped with interior detailing. For an even more realistic effect, matching interior lighting (Fleischmann part number 944701) can be retrofitted. This creates an impressive atmosphere, especially during nighttime measurement runs or when the train stops at a lit station. The NEM 355 coupler sockets with close-coupling kinematics round out the technical features. With a minimum radius of 192 mm, the four-car train can also be used on more compact N-gauge layouts.

Applications on Modern N-Gauge Model Railroad Layouts

The Fleischmann ICE-S is ideal for Era VI model railroads featuring modern main lines, high-speed sections, and large stations. Particularly interesting is the depiction of a test run on a newly constructed high-speed line or a test and acceptance run prior to the commencement of regular train service. Encounters with modern ICE trains, electric locomotives, and other Deutsche Bahn rolling stock also offer a variety of layout possibilities. Thanks to its special role as a technical test vehicle, the ICE-S creates unusual and prototypical operating scenarios that differ significantly from ordinary passenger service.

A Special Sound Model for Collectors & ICE Enthusiasts

The Fleischmann 7770017 train set combines the fascination of modern high-speed technology with the important work of German railway research. The four-car set, the factory-installed digital sound system, and the characteristic design as a test train make this model an attractive addition for collectors of exceptional ICE vehicles. The ICE-S offers versatile usage options, especially for model railroaders focused on Deutsche Bahn, high-speed rail, and Era VI. Get your hands on the Fleischmann ICE-S Class 410 with digital sound and bring the exciting world of high-speed test runs to your N-gauge model railroad layout!
