Roco 70401 2-tlg. Set: electric motorised train ICE 1 (BR 401), DB AG, Ep. VI Product Details

Description

A power car set with two Deutsche Bahn ICE 1 power cars, class 401, with a bell-shaped armature motor and a new roof design with a filigree pantograph. The era of high-speed rail service on the German Federal Railroad began in the summer of 1991 with the ICE 1, which introduced a completely new rail system for the first time with newly developed multiple units, special high-speed routes, and extensive timetable reform. The railcar concept with closed, wide car crossovers was groundbreaking for modern high-speed rail traffic. The top speed of 280 km/h in regular service, as well as the upscale comfort, revolutionized rail transportation and secured important market shares in the competition with the automobile and the airplane.
