Great too see the station terminus completed, nice speed shots,they remind me of the desiro sound a little bit,and added extra bonus appearance from your two ICE QUEENS,cheers Tony.
@CaptainFelixTan1 Thanks for your comments, the stations are faller , the one where the ice is parked is model 110115 mittelstadt station , the one where the narrow guage : is discontinued by faller but a similar one is 110116 schwarburg station, Jim.....
hi klaus , many thanks, my layout was ment to go a right around my attic but its just about big enough now, it was the cost of the track when i first planed it all out the fleischmann profi track cost a lot of money...i like the ice trains of the bd i have four from fleischmann, one from roco & one from trix..
Hi , terminus is around 15ft long by 3ft inc entrance ,wagon holding yard,station car park , main run is three main lines & is about 15 by 15 ft i think ive never measured the layout..
@baddow7 Thanks , at the moment its controled manualy via my ipod,ipad,ecos etc, to automate i need to add the feedback moduals ,the hoe is controled by a fleischmann profi boss,the signals are controled when i fire a point that the signal light is wired to ..
Great collection of ice trains! The sound also wonderful! ice cream and ice trains! your girls fantastic! Great shot at 2:51-3:05! I was impressed. Cheers Tak
Thanks jimmy ,I know i will be going to hamburg to see miniture wonder world at some point, in n scale it will be great as you will not have the problem of the space ho scale takes up...jim
@stevenjohnboley Thanks stevie for you kind words there will be some more ice trains , they are all off the layout now & the older electric trains are now on the system as i change the eara now & then.. Thanks jim.
Thanks , i am not sure i had a lot of stock out on that day , i have around 7 types of ice trains with many coaches around 50 ..i get them mixed up some times
@tkd011 Thanks tak, these trains can run at a scale speed of 156mph as you know without ever derailing i never had one come off the rails awesome to see these running my frends & famaly love to see these type of trains running....
I really love the ICE trains and always watch them (and 'Thalys') at 'Amsterdam Centraal'! I travelled on the ICE train once from A'dam to Arnhem and back ... great experience!
hi love the videos, looking to go with the ecos myself, can you tell me how you get the trains to stop in the station and hoe do you get trains to stop at red signals, also how do you get trains to hold in a fiddle yard, do you use feedback modules for this, could you do a video showing how this is done?
Cool your layout should be very good i hope you upload some of your progress, the fleischmann 407 is on my list but the cat train has took its place for now, not sure when i am going to germany yet....jim
Great video! I'd love to add the ICE train to my growing collection of HST (High Speed Trains) as I have the Hornby Virgin Pendolino Class 390, the Bachmann Virgin Voyager Class 221, the Bachmann Amtrak Acela, the Bachmann Amtrak Acela HHP-8 locomotive, and I have on order the Walthers Amtrak Metroliner. Who makes your ICE sets? they're quite beautiful, and what scale are they?? I really enjoyed your video, thanks for sharing it and your layout is wonderful. Greetings from New York City!
Hi ...Many thanks for your kind words... Cool you have a nice collection too by the sounds of it. I have around 8 of these ice (inter city express) trains . They are made by fleischmann and roco of Germany and Austria. they can run at full speed without ever worring about derailments. All the best ..Jim👍
Hi Jim, by any chance do you have that device that sits over the tracks with short walls on both sides of the track that measures the speed (either MPH or KM) of the train? I'd sure love to know the scale speed of these gorgeous trains!
+bhigdaddymark Hi Mark I hope tou are well, yes I did have a fleischmann 5555 tacho wagon and the fleischmann ice trains avaraged 150 ish mph scale speed.. but I now have a faster version the ICE ZUG set fleischmann 1999. also the v150 tgv is a very fast model..
Fabulous layout, what was the name/product code of the speed wagon you used? I can't seem to find them anywhere, so your reply would be appreciated. Thanks, William
Hi thanks. . It's the fleischmann 5555 tacho wagon..but it's now very hard to find. There is a similar item but in a box wagon made by esu but not sure of the product code.... Jim
Great layout you got there, may I ask what's the brand and model of the stations you are using? ( where the ICE are parked, and where the narrow gauge train passed)
hovermotion, is this fleischamnn stainless steel? I am asking as i am new to the hobby and want to start with the big layout. However read a lot about connectivity issues with trakcs. It seems however that it was about non-stainless steel tracks. As stainless steel (especially when cleaned) do not seem to cause any problems. I am split btw Marklin Ktrack and Fleischmann (reality) and now leaning towards Fleischamnn.
all modern track is nickle silver and is very easy to clean, i would go for fleischmann track as it holds its value much more is you sell it on in the future. jim
ahhh ok un tacometro... y la velocidad que marca es a escala? es decir ya la multiplica por .87?? gracias de antemano mi pana es muy interesante y no sabia que existia tal vagón (instrumento)
Can these guys derail? Do you see any wear and tear on the rails or the train after having ran them for several hours? How do you maintain the system to avoid any problems? Thanks!
Thanks, the db Ice train of germany stands for inter city express .. I just like to have some fun with my kids ...they can run at max motor speed without derailing.....jim
Hey Hovermotion...nice Layout. I am from Germany, do you want to send me some Pics of your Layout and get Feedback wether it really looks like in germany? :D Where you from?
Hi , using the fleischmann 5555 tacho wagon ..this works out the real time speed in 176 or 187 scale along with lots of other info and stores it ...like a bicycle tacho ....jim
If your kids like trains, and have a pc with windows 8, they would love train simulator 2014 and 2013 it has those trains and lots more I have 2014 you can buy it on steam and GameSeek for £20
Im not normally a foreign trains person but I absolutly adore those ICE trains! They look brilliant!
Many thanks....JIm
So many ICE!! I have only ICE3 from Märklin. Very nice layout 👍
Great too see the station terminus completed, nice speed shots,they remind me of the desiro sound a little bit,and added extra bonus appearance from your two ICE QUEENS,cheers Tony.
So often see I see trains running in layout videos at unprototypical speds. This was fast and prototypical and very cool.
I Love ICE T
Your layout is so epic. I wish I could have such a cool layout :( I LOVE ICE TRAINS
@CaptainFelixTan1 Thanks for your comments, the stations are faller , the one where the ice is parked is model 110115 mittelstadt station , the one where the narrow guage : is discontinued by faller but a similar one is 110116 schwarburg station, Jim.....
A fun place to be around, by all means.
hi klaus , many thanks, my layout was ment to go a right around my attic but its just about big enough now, it was the cost of the track when i first planed it all out the fleischmann profi track cost a lot of money...i like the ice trains of the bd i have four from fleischmann, one from roco & one from trix..
Many thanks , i do not have the ice 1 using two power cars push pull, but i am on the lookout for the fleischmann version non dcc.....jim

@Baureihe1031 Thanks thomas , yes my system is based on the db of germany but i have a few u.s models thanks jim..

But why has one of your ICE2's a restaurant waggon from ICE1?

Excelent! Loved this video!
Carlos Sa Hi thanks...
Hi interesting video. Do you need a special type of track to run these trains at speed or to prevent derailment?
Hi , No just fleischmann profi track which is no longer made..
coole züge 👍
looks really awesome .. I like from
Quite an investment, but what of the catenary?
Way too expensive and arkward to fit..
Fabulous layout, what was the name/product code of the speed wagon you used? I can't seem to find them anywhere, so your reply would be appreciated.
Thanks, William
Hi thanks. .
It's the fleischmann 5555 tacho wagon..but it's now very hard to find.
There is a similar item but in a box wagon made by esu but not sure of the product code....
Jim
Thank you very much for your fast reply! I'll see what i can find.
William
Is there extra coaches for the ICE 2 set in the market? :-)
greetings, Egil
Great layout you got there, may I ask what's the brand and model of the stations you are using? ( where the ICE are parked, and where the narrow gauge train passed)
That is awesome and i want one.
for starters do you recommend something or can you tell me prices ??
Thanks
A hello to the U.K from mexico lol
FAntastic layout and trains. What tracks do you use (Peco, Fleischmann, other) ?
Thanks....fleischmann profi track...lots of flexible track too
hovermotion, is this fleischamnn stainless steel? I am asking as i am new to the hobby and want to start with the big layout. However read a lot about connectivity issues with trakcs.

fleischmann 5555 tacho wagon
ahhh ok un tacometro... y la velocidad que marca es a escala? es decir ya la multiplica por .87?? gracias de antemano mi pana es muy interesante y no sabia que existia tal vagón (instrumento)

A derailment may be costly!
thanks phil, my girls do love trains i wonder why lol....
Hi !
I like this perfect video, you like german trains.
Greetings Thomas
Can these guys derail? Do you see any wear and tear on the rails or the train after having ran them for several hours? How do you maintain the system to avoid any problems? Thanks!
Hi..no they never derail...the system is nearly 5 years old..and the track is in perfect condition as I use the cmx track maintenance truck....
@sheba31 Thanks tony
Thanks, the db Ice train of germany stands for inter city express .. I just like to have some fun with my kids ...they can run at max motor speed without derailing.....jim
@GayGamerAU Many thanks..

@howarth004 Thanks dave.
Hey Hovermotion...nice Layout. I am from Germany, do you want to send me some Pics of your Layout and get Feedback wether it really looks like in germany? :D Where you from?
Hi many thanks...
I am from manchester u.k ..I am doing some Stills of my layout on one of my next vids...
Danke...jim
@josuemessias48 Muito obrigado..
Many thanks for your kind comment, i am uploading a new vid with all my ice trains soon all 6 of them..
I love the ice dasht E train and it's even and it's even a German train. And it's a high-speed train
nice
t
Thanks...
this is my favorite layout so far and I've only seen 45 seconds of it.
Hi thanks...
how'd you work out how fast the ICE trains are going because it's clearly not going at 145 mph on a HO layout
Hi , using the fleischmann 5555 tacho wagon ..this works out the real time speed in 176 or 187 scale along with lots of other info and stores it ...like a bicycle tacho ....jim
+Hovermotion ahh ok, that's very clever so they are probably going about 15 to 20 mph in real life
+Tomos merivale correct.......jim
+Hovermotion great video though
Tomos merivale It's scale speed
Wish I had those trains :(
Why ?
Trains genials 😍😍🚂🚂🚅🚄🚄
TheAzGamer or Foxy Pirata Thanks ..Jim
It's seems that you are fan of the European trains
where he has to buy train
It dosen't look like they're going 145+mph? Just going like maybe 10mph?
Hmm.... you have a point...
Superb stuff Jim - thanks for the link ... I've seen them already but still great to revisit.
STEVIE B.
i own one of them
IT IS Not a ICE Training IT IS a Intercity Express
Domi-Züge ICE is the slow version of INTER CITY EXPRESS
If your kids like trains, and have a pc with windows 8, they would love train simulator 2014 and 2013 it has those trains and lots more I have 2014 you can buy it on steam and GameSeek for £20
Hi, many thanks for the info on the train sim..
I may take a look ....jim
Hi, many thanks for the info on the train sim..
