Based on:
For the ICE traffic between Germany and Switzerland, a few of the ICE driving units have been fitted with a second pantograph, so that they can also run under the Swiss catenary. FLEISCHMANN has reproduced this exactly with the second current collector having a shorter slider, as is on the prototype. Not only that, the magnet for the Swiss train safety mechanism "Integra" is also mounted on the bogies.
