Description

Roco 7700018 H0 Set of 4 ICE 3neo intermediate cars, class 408, DB AG, Ep. VI: Perfect addition for your high-speed train

The Roco 7700018 H0 set of 4 ICE 3neo intermediate carriages expands your ICE 3neo multiple unit (class 408) with further important carriages that represent the train in its full length and functionality. With precise details and innovative equipment, this add-on set fits seamlessly with your basic set and brings even more realism to your model railway layout.

The prototype: The ICE 3neo - the latest generation of high-speed comfort

In order to quickly expand its long-distance services, Deutsche Bahn ordered a total of 90 units of the ICE 3neo from 2020, which is based on the tried-and-tested Velaro platform from Siemens. The 408 series reaches speeds of 300 to 320 km/h and is designed for cross-border services. These multi-system trains are setting new standards in international passenger transport and have been successfully in operation on routes to Belgium and the Netherlands since 2024.

The add-on set represents an important part of these modern trains and allows you to realize the model in its full length. The four wagons include transformer and converter wagons as well as center wagons with different equipment that are characteristic of the prototype.

Detailed model realization

This add-on set is characterized by its prototypical design and high quality workmanship. The features include separately attached aerials in new positions, the correct design of the pantographs and prototypical grille engravings on the aprons. Two coaches are also equipped with access doors at the ends of the coaches, which further enhances the functionality and appearance of the model.

The current-carrying couplings ensure smooth power transmission between the wagons and guarantee realistic driving characteristics. The scale accuracy and precise printing make these carriages a visual highlight.

Technical details and compatibility

The model is manufactured in H0 scale (1:87) and designed for the 2-wire direct current system (DC). With an overall length over buffers (LüP) of 1112 mm and a minimum radius of 360 mm, the set is ideal for use on versatile layouts. The NEM coupling shafts with close coupling kinematics (KK kinematics) facilitate integration into the existing train formation.

Care and maintenance

The Roco 7700018 add-on set is low-maintenance and durable. The maintenance-free LED light sources guarantee reliable lighting. The wheels and couplings should be cleaned regularly to maintain the quality of operation. Moving parts can be easily lubricated if necessary.

Conclusion: An indispensable set for your ICE 3neo

The Roco 7700018 H0 set of 4 ICE 3neo intermediate coaches perfectly complements your basic set and allows you to depict the modern high-speed train in all its glory. With its detailed features and prototypical design, this set is a must for fans of modern Era VI long-distance trains.
