The 39718 ICE 4 class 412/812 railcar train from Märklin is a highly detailed model that brings the iconic ICE 4 high-speed train from Deutsche Bahn AG (DB AG) realistically and functionally to the model railroad layout. The prototype of this replica, the ICE 4, represents a new generation of high-speed trains that have been running on Germany's tracks since 2019 and have been specially developed for flexibility and efficiency. Particularly in Era VI, the ICE 4 is a symbol of modern rail travel and sustainable mobility.
With impressive features such as the LED interior lighting fitted as standard, numerous digital lighting scenarios and a pantograph that can be raised and lowered using digital functions, this train brings the flair of the original directly to the H0 model railway layout. An integrated mfx+ decoder also allows the control of extensive light and sound functions and makes the model appear even more realistic.
The ICE 4, in its prototype function as the 412/812 series, was developed to meet the needs of modern high-speed transportation. In cooperation with Siemens and Bombardier, Deutsche Bahn has designed this train for maximum flexibility: Its modular design allows for flexible adjustment of the train length as well as the number of seats. The train reaches a top speed of 250 km/h and is used on both long-distance and intercity routes.
The ICE 4 also sets new standards in terms of energy efficiency and comfort. Special aerodynamic adjustments reduce air resistance and an optimized drive control system ensures low energy consumption. Since 2019, the ICE 4 has been on the road in various train lengths and car configurations, whereby the class 412/812 shown here as a classic five-part configuration is ideal for model railroad layouts that value realistic representations.
Märklin has stood for quality and innovation in model railroading for over 160 years. Founded in 1859, the company has continuously adapted to the changing wishes and demands of model train fans and is now the market leader for detailed, high-quality and functional model trains. With products in various gauges, including H0, Märklin meets the highest standards of authenticity and technical perfection. The ICE 4 class 412/812 is a prime example of Märklin's commitment to modern and realistic model realizations in which functionality and design form a perfect symbiosis.
The model of the 39718 ICE 4 class 412/812 railcar train is not only a visual highlight, but also technically of the highest standard. It is a five-part model on a length scale of 1:93.5, which enables a true-to-original representation while saving space on the H0 layout. The train is equipped with an mfx+ digital decoder that controls extensive sound and light functions. The high-performance drive with flywheel installed centrally in the on-board restaurant car drives all four axles of the bogies, giving the train a high level of performance and smooth running.
Particularly noteworthy are the various lighting scenarios, which are digitally switchable and perfectly capture the ambience of the ICE train. The use of maintenance-free, warm white LEDs in different colors makes the interior lighting shine and enables realistic scenarios. The driver's cab lighting can also be switched separately digitally, which further increases the realism on the layout.
The 39718 ICE 4 railcar train is designed for the H0 gauge, which makes it compatible with most 1:87 scale model railroad layouts. The model is designed for operation with the Märklin AC system and is therefore ideally suited for both conventional and digital layouts. Thanks to the built-in mfx+ decoder, the train can be seamlessly integrated into digital systems and is compatible with a large number of Märklin control systems.
The color scheme of the ICE 4 model is outstanding and corresponds to the Deutsche Bahn prototype down to the smallest detail. The train is painted in classic DB white with red stripes along the carriages and bears the official ICE logo. The lettering and details such as the door areas, window frames and pantographs are also accurately reproduced. The paintwork not only gives the model an authentic appearance, but also provides long-lasting protection for the surfaces and ensures high color fidelity for many years to come.
A special feature of the 39718 ICE 4 railcar train is the standard LED interior lighting, which enables various lighting scenarios. The lighting can be switched via the digital decoder and offers scenarios such as day and night lighting. In addition, the two pantographs on the service car can be raised and lowered digitally, which further enhances the realism of the layout. The direction-dependent headlights and the red tail lights can also be switched digitally and provide additional authenticity.
The sound functions include realistic noises such as the sound of the train running, doors opening and closing, and announcements. These acoustic effects make the ICE 4 not only a visual but also an acoustic experience on the model railway layout. The mfx+ decoder ensures precise synchronization of all functions and guarantees smooth control on digital layouts.
The 39718 ICE 4 model can be extended with a three-part extension set and additional middle carriages, which significantly increases the scope for individual configurations. This allows the train to be converted from the basic five-car configuration to a longer formation, just like the real-life model. These accessories are available separately and can be easily integrated into the existing configuration to create even more train variants.
The Märklin ICE 4 is manufactured to the highest quality and undergoes strict controls to ensure a durable and reliable model. The sturdy construction, the precise reproduction and the high quality of the materials used make this train a worthwhile investment for every model railroader. Thanks to the innovative technology and the long-life LED lights, the model is designed for continuous operation and can also impress with longer use on the layout.
The Märklin 39718 ICE 4 class 412/812 railcar train is a first-class model that impresses with its detailed reproduction, extensive functions, and high-quality workmanship. Whether as a single item or in combination with additional cars, this model is a highlight on any layout and brings the modern world of railroading realistically into the model train room. The ICE 4 is the perfect choice for model railroaders who want to upgrade their H0 layout with an ultra-modern train.
