Description
ICE S is a trainset of the series 410.1 (ICE-S) of the Deutsche Bundesbahn V. The model is digital and in possession of a C-Sinus engine and an FX digital decoder. The drive is done on 4 axles. Carriages are equipped with interior lighting. The couplings between the carriages are special couplings. Source: wikapedia: ICE S is Deutsche Bahns train for high-speed tests. The letter S abbreviates the German expression Schnellfahrt, which translates into high speed run. The train replaced the InterCityExperimental (ICE V). The train was originally used to test components during the development of the ICE 3 in the mid-1990s. The powerheads were taken from the ongoing production of the ICE 2 with only minor modifications. Two of the three original carriages had 500 kW (670 hp) traction motors on each axle, resulting in an impressive overall power output of 13,600 kW (18,200 hp). When testing was completed, both these powered carriages were retired. After the ICE V was retired, the ICE S became the test and measurement vehicle for maintaining existing and approval runs on new high-speed lines. Three times a year, the train runs on each line with an array of sensors and cameras to determine the lines condition. During the acceptance tests of new high-speed lines, the ICE S is usually the first train to use the line at the design speed and beyond. While testing bogies for DB and Japan Railways Group, the train achieved a speed of 393 km/h (244 mph) on 13 July 2001, which is the highest speed driven on German rails since the InterCityExperimentals land speed record campaign in 1988.
