Not only was the ICE 3 neo not featured in this video, but it definitely doesn’t sound the same, what you saw was the new ICE 3 DB Class 407 the ICE 3 Neo is DB class 408, and has a different inverter sound to the 407 which is what the Eurostar is based on, the 408 also has thicker black edges on the passenger doors, the nose cone has stronger creases, and there’s an antenna above the middle light at the top of the windscreen
The initial 2 trains are not Velaro, they're the very first ICE3 units using Siemens and likely ABB traction equipment underfloor, that's why they sound like. The very first "Velaro" train was an ICE-3 further development fully made by Siemens itself and sold to Spain as "Velaro E", that's why it looks and sounds like an early ICE3. Some of the spanish units were even built by Caf and Alstom under Siemens guidelines. The original ICE-3 was conceived in the 1990s by a collaboration between Siemens, ABB, AEG, designer Alexander Neumeister and it entered service in May of 2000 as "Expo Express" services for the Expo 2000 in Hannover, carrying passengers for the very first time ever for this platform. Velaro D trains sound different because early ICE 3 and Velaro E (Spain) uses GTO Thyristor based traction inverters while Velaro D uses a new IGBT transistor based Inverter, this is the device that drives traction motors as asked by the main computer of the train wich responds to the driver or rail automation should one be available where the train stands.
Yeah because that clip was from France as far as I can tell. France has a different electrical system on their highspeed lines compared to Germany so the train uses the mode thats suitable for the French one in the clip which sounds different
@@mittenpulstaktung Wasn't Sibas 32 the system used on the early 2000's decade and spanish units? Why would Siemens use ABB inverters having it's owns?
BR407 あんなすごい轟音出してて、最初はGTOかと思いましたけど、でも実はあれでもIGBTであると知ったときは度肝を抜きましたねぇ。
ICE4は京急で走ってたシーメンスIGBTに似てますね。
New ice neo sounds like the eurostar and looks the exact same

Uh looks like this Velaro D makes a diffrent sound than the main Velaro D.
NO! Right after the first Velaro D is the main Velaro D!

@@MadScientist750 They don't use ABB equipment, they use Siemens SIBAS 32 GTOs :)
