1 Background
1.1
ICE 2 (Class 402)
The Class 402 ICE 2 Inter-City Express train is the 2nd series of German High Speed
trains. It's predecessor the ICE 1 was a great success but it had problems with it's
weight per seat being rather high and it being too long for some connections. The
ICE 2 consists have one power car and seven cars, instead of the 2 power cars and
up to fourteen cars of the ICE 1. If required 2 ICE 2's can be coupled together to
increase capacity. These can then be separated at a station and travel to different
destinations.

Except for automatic coupling and greater length, ICE2 power cars are almost
identical to the ICE 1. The most noticeable difference is, to make room in the nose
for the new automatic Schafenberg coupler the headlights and grill are higher up.
The non-powered cab car is a combination of middle car with an updated ICE cab to
accommodate the carriage profile. Despite the similar exterior to the ICE1 the ICE 2
has other noteable differences. The weight has been significantly reduced and the
interior compartments have been removed in favour of an open seating arrangement.

3 Creating an ICE-2 train set

3.1
Scenario Editor
To get your ICE-2 ready for selection in a scenario you will need to enable it in the
object set filters, which will add it to the rolling stock list.

Follow these steps to enable the ICE-2:

1. Enter the Scenario Editor. (Note: If a route is locked it will need to be
unlocked first before you can enter the Scenario Editor. Unlock by clicking the
padlock icon in the bottom right of the screen).
2. Click the Object Set Filter button (the small blue cube on the middle left
panel).
3. In the new window which opens on the right hand side, select the following:
RSC / ICE2Pack01
4. The ICE-2 will now appear in the list of rolling stock for that route.
5. You may need to repeat this process on other routes or scenarios where you
wish the ICE-2 to be displayed.
3.2
Train Formation
Each coach is unique in an ICE-2 consist. The table below shows the correct
formation of an ICE-2

5 Cab Functions
5.1
AFB Speed Control
The AFB function is similar to the cruise-control function in a road vehicle where a
required speed is set by the driver and the vehicle will achieve and maintain that
speed by automatically accelerating and braking as needed.
To use the AFB function, push the lever to the left of the throttle forward to set the
required speed, denoted by the bug around the outside of the speedometer.
Acceleration is controlled by the throttle lever, so the lower this is set, the longer it
will take to attain the set cruise speed. If the brake lever is in the hold position
(notch 2) the train air brakes will be applied in addition to dynamic braking if
necessary. The driver retains complete control of braking and acceleration while the
function is active.
To deactivate the function, pull the AFB lever fully back.

Function Keyboard
Increase Y
Decrease C

5.2
SIFA Driver Vigilance
The SIFA vigilance alerter is disabled at startup, but can be activated or deactivated
by pressing ‘Shift+Enter(Numpad)’. After activation you should press the ‘Enter’ key
to initially acknowledge activation. While the train is moving, the driver is required to
confirm an alarm every 30 seconds by pressing the ‘Enter’ key.
Initially the SIFA light on the cab dashboard will be lit. After 4 seconds an audible
alert will sound. After a further 2.5 seconds the emergency brake will be applied.
This can be avoided by acknowledging the alert by pressing the ‘Enter’ key.

5.3
LZB
LZB is a cab signaling and train protection system. LZB brake intervention is off by
default. It can be enabled with Ctrl-numpad+. B indicator will show when brake
intervention is enabled. LZB displays will activate when needed, regardless of brake
intervention state, LZB active is shown by Ü.
LZB is activated by an LZB start sign. It is ended by LZB end magnets. Displays can
also be enabled/disabled by the user pressing Ctrl/shift-numpad+ (usefull for existing
routes with no magnets).
LZB will override any enabled PZB (enabled by Crl-Enter(Numberpad)). PZB will run
in the background and will takeover when LZB deactivates. This may be in a
restricted state resulting from 1000hz magnets. Active 2000hz magnets will also
cause a brake application with LZB.

When active LZB shows the distance to the next speed change, on a 4000m range
graphic bar, or digits upto 9900m. The next speed target is shown in digits at the
base of the speedo, if the next speed target is less than the current speed limit, in
which case the current speed limit is shown. The current speed limit is always
displayed with a bug on the speedo.

Page 10
 Train Simulator – ICE 2 (Class 402) High Speed Train

Exceeding the limit will cause the G light to be shown. When LZB brake intervention
is enabled if the limit is exceeded for 5 seconds the brakes will be applied.

When approaching reduced speed targets (including 000 for red signals) the limit bug
will command a decelleration rate by gradually moving the bug counter clockwise.
While commanding decelleration the G light will be shown.

If the AFB is used with active LZB then the train speed will be managed to the lower
value of the AFB target or LZB target, and thus provides a degree of automatic train
control. It will not stop for stations.

At the end of an LZB section the ENDE light will flash. If LZB brake intervention is
enabled this must be acknowledged within 10 seconds or the brakes will be applied.

5.4
PZB90 Cab Signaling
The PZB90 function is similar to the UK AWS function. By default it is disabled.

The following keyboard controls are used for operation:

Function Keyboard
Activate/Deactivate Ctrl+Enter(Numpad)
Acknowledge Page Down
Release End
Override Del

There are six cab dashboard lights associated with the function - 85, 70, 1000, 500,
befehl40 and S.

Function Control Panel Light(s)

85km/h maximum / Normal operation 85
45km/h maximum Alternating 70 85
25km/h maximum 500 + alternating 70 85
Distant at warning passed. 85km/h maximum 85 + 1000
Stop signal approaching. 45km/h maximum 85 + 500
Emergency brake applied S + flashing 1000

5.4.1 Pulling away

When first pulling away the PZB will enter the starting program mode until speed
exceeds 5km/h. This is shown by the 70 and 85 lights flashing alternately. Speeds
below 45km/h will be allowed for the next 700m. If there is no adverse stop signal
ahead the speed monitoring can be cancelled with the ‘End’ key. However, if the
monitoring is cancelled and the next signal is red when passing the 500hz magnet
(similar to an AWS ramp), the emergency brakes will be applied, whatever the train
speed.

5.4.2 Passing a Distant Signal at Warning

When passing a distant signal set at warning, the signal should be acknowledged
with the Acknowledge key (‘Page Down’) within 2.5 seconds of passing or the
emergency brakes will be applied. After acknowledging the signal, the 1000 light will

show, and 85 will start flashing. You now have 23 seconds to reduce speed to
85km/h or less, or the emergency brakes will be applied.

Once train speed drops below 85km/h the speed will be monitored to this maximum.
This cannot be cancelled while 1000 is lit. 700m after passing the distant signal, the
1000 light will go out. The speed monitoring can now be released

If the train speed drops below 10km/h while 1000hz 85km/h monitoring is active,
hen the maximum speed will be reduced to 45km/h. This is indicated by 70 and 85
flashing alternately as per the start program mode.

If speed monitoring is not cancelled with the Release key (‘End’) it will expire 1250m
after the distant signal (providing another active distant has not been passed).

5.4.3 Approaching a Stop Signal at Danger

If the stop signal ahead is red then passing a 500hz magnet will cause the 85 and
500 lights to be displayed steady. If the train speed exceeds 65km/h at this point the
emergency brakes will be immediately applied. If not, you have 153m to reduce
speed to below 45km/h, or again the emergency brakes will be applied.

If train speed drops below 10km/h while 500hz 45km/h monitoring is active then the
maximum monitored speed will be reduced to 25km/h. This is indicated by 70 and 85
flashing alternately together with the 500hz lit.

Speed monitoring cannot be released while the 500hz light is on. It is extinguished,
and the 500hz monitoring expired, 250m after passing the 500hz magnet, which
should be approximately the position of the associated stop signal.

If an adverse stop signal is passed (2000hz magnet) the emergency brakes will
immediately be applied.

5.4.4 Passing a Stop Signal at Danger

If it is necessary to pass a red signal, press and hold the Override key (‘Del’) while
passing the signal. Ensure train speed is below 40km/h. As the signal is passed, the
befehl40 light will show. The Override key can now be released. If the 1000 and 500
lights are out then any speed monitoring can be cancelled using the Release key.

6 Guide to Driving
6.1
Pulling away from Station
• Confirm T lights are out.
• Put reverser into forwards (w key).
• Push brake handle forwards to release (' key).
• Push power handle forwards to start moving (a key).
• When speed passes 5km/h 70-85 lights will start flashing. Press Free control
(end key) to cancel. Lights should stop flashing and 85 will be displayed
steady.
• Move AFB lever to select desired line speed (set speed shown on digits on
speedo).
• Push power handle fully forwards.
• Move brake handle one notch rearwards to “hold” position.

.
6.2
General Line Driving
• Every 30 seconds the sifa light will come on. Immediately press the sifa
button (numpad enter key) to cancel.
• Line speed changes, including basic reductions, can be handled by simply
moving the AFB lever to select the desired speed.
• If the brakes are used manually remember to reselect the “hold” position
after releasing them (this allows the AFB to use the train brakes, if
necessary).

6.3
Approaching Adverse Signal
• Basic German signals are 2 aspect, there are home (stop) signals, and
distant signals. Note a home head and the next distant head can be located
on the same post. The approach to a distant signal is indicated by distance
marker boards ,III, II, I at 300m, 200m and 100m from signal.
• When approaching a distant signal which is showing yellows or green/yellow
press and hold the acknowledge control (pagedown key) while passing the
signal post. 1000Hz will light and 85 will start flashing.
• Start service (ie near full braking) to ensure speed is below 85km/h within
23 seconds.
• Continue braking for a stop at the next home signal (1km away by default).
• When the speed has reduced below 10km/h 70-85 will start flashing. Do not
exceed 45km/h while these lights are flashing.
• When the signal ahead clears, press the Free control to cancel the flashing,
and resume normal driving.

6.4
Passing Red Signal
• If it is necessary to pass a red signal (e.g for a coupling operation) press
and hold the Override control (delete key) while passing the signal post.
Do not exceed 40km/h. Befehl40 will light on passing the signal, the
control can then be released.
