    In one of the lost threads someone quoted details and train consist for DB ICE trains. I have been trawling the web but am obviously looking in the wrong places. Can someone help me this please.

    Thanks John, next question is, what services do these new ones run on?

    By the way I've never owned or used Microsoft Train Sim.. consist was the term used by the guys I used to speak to at Crewe, when telling them the make up and order on our daily trip, when I was in charge of the rail sidings operation at the chemical works I worked at near Sandbach. 1975 to 1995.

    Another general overview can be found here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICE_Train


    By new ones do you mean ICE 3s ?

    All over the place, Belgium and Netherlands aswell. If you want to see them, you could go Eurostar to Brussels, then catch one down to Cologne and see a load more there.

    Thanks for that link Nathan. I am travelling from Linz via Nuremburg to Berlin in October and was wondering which ones are used on those routes.
    Yes by new I did mean ICE 3's.

    Sorry I didn't respond earlier, and I don't know what type of ICE will be on this route, never done it myself. Either way they are all nice to use.

    Have a pleasant and safe journey!
