DB IC buses, a completely new design of PIKO's 1: 160 scale. IC `79's pioneering concept was introduced by Bundesbahn at the beginning of the summer tariff in 1979 with the slogan" Every hour, every class ". This new approach became necessary due to the fact that the operation of first -class Intercities was not economic at that time due to a continuous decrease in the number of passengers. With the introduction of the second class, a hourly rhythm was increased at the same time. The intended shortening of travel times was achieved by expanding many routes and increasing maximum speeds. In order to save more time, these accelerated trains no longer carry luggage and mail wagons and were divided into 1st grade, dinner wagon and 2nd class blocks for quick transmissions at central stations. Following the success of the concept, the IC network was increased from four lines to five in 1985. IC is still an important backbone of long -distance rail transportation today.
