Info about the original
"IC 2" is the new name for the DB Fernverkehr AG TWINDEXX Vario® trains introduced following the timetable change on 13.12.2015. Back in 2010, Bombardier Transportation received the first order for 27 five-partdouble-deck trains in combination with the BR 146.5 locomotives from apreviously-concluded framework contract with DB AG for a total of 800 double-deck trains. An order was placed for a further 17 trains in March 2015. The TWINDEXX Vario® is a further development of the tried-andtrusted double-deck platform from Görlitz. Each train has 468 seats, 70 of which are in 1st class as well as 10 bicycle parking spaces. The top speed of the trains is 160 km/h. The IC 2 will gradually replace all previous IC trains in the new long-distance traffic concept from DB Fernverkehr AG.Following the time table change, the first routes for these trains are Leipzig- Norddeich Mole, Dresden - Köln and Koblenz - Norddeich Mole.The BRAWA models of the TWINDEXX Vario® IC double-deck coaches can be ideally combined with the TRAXX BR 146.5 electric locomotive from DB AG(Order No. 43976 - 43979) to create a train that is true to the original.
