Dear N Scale Customers:

ICE4 Special Sound Version Release
Equipped with pre-installed ZIMO DCC and Sound!

Coming in late February/Early March 2020 and available in a limited 100 piece run, Kato USA will be distributing the new N Scale ICE4 Bullet Train with ZIMO Sound pre-installed! This set will be available as the train’s full 12-Unit consist, with decoders in both motorized cars and lighting decoders in each end-car (four decoders in total).

You can see and hear the ICE4 with DCC in motion at Kato USA’s youtube channel, accessible by visiting: https://www.youtube.com/user/KatoUSAinc

The ICE4 has multiple different carbody types which run on unique trucks, seen in the lowest image. These trucks, which have both inside and outside bearing versions, are carefully and precisely replicated on the Kato model, along with other details such as the dark tinted windows, movable pantograph, and car-specific printing and numbering. All of this adds up to a base model that’s already at the cutting edge of accuracy and precision - and that’s before even adding the special sound system made specially for the Kato ICE4 by ZIMO!

The ICE 4 “Zimo” Sound Equipped set consists of 12 cars, two of which are motorized, in two bookcase style boxes. Instructions are included.

These sets are limited to 100 pieces for distribution in the United States through Kato USA. All decoder installations are done by professionals and are fully warranted by Kato USA.

 

 

The ICE 4 is a brand name for long-distance Intercity-Express high-speed trains being procured for Deutsche Bahn.

Procurement started around 2008 for replacements for locomotive-hauled InterCity and EuroCity train services, and was later expanded to include replacements for ICE 1 and ICE 2 high-speed trainsets. In 2011 Siemens Mobility was awarded the contract for 130 seven-car intercity train replacements, and 90 ten-car ICE train replacements, plus further options – the contract for the ten-car sets was modified 2013 to expand the trainset length to twelve vehicles. The name ICx was used for the trains during the initial stages of the procurement; in late 2015 the trains were rebranded 'ICE 4', at the unveiling of the first trainset, and given the class designation 412 by Deutsche Bahn.

Two pre-production trainsets have been manufactured by 2016, and were used for testing later that year, prior to introduction of the main series in late 2017.
