Hi all,
I’ve been lurking on these boards for years, but I thought it was high time I
created an account. I would like to share with you my model of a Deutsche
Bahn InterCityExpress (ICE 3 class 406) train set.
Full credit goes to James Mathis for the original design, which can be found
in his excellent Brickshelf folder. Thanks James!
Beginning with James’ design, I made several modifications such that the
model could be built from parts that actually exist in brick form (ah the
luxuries of LDraw...). I then added a few touches of my own, most notably
working lights on the front and the rear and printed stickers.

In the videos, it is running on long curves made from straight track as
described in Railbricks 1 by Holger Matthes. I love this method of creating
a layout that is suitable for long trains to operate at high speed -- see
particularly the last video where I used a modified power supply with the
current increased to 3 A (helps with the electrical resistance from the long
curves).
For those who are interested, I have posted an
extended description and background in the NovaLUG forum.
Anyway, I’d welcome any feedback or ideas you may have -- thanks for reading!
Cheers,
Eric

WOW!
As a static model this train looks great. But seeing it in motion elevates it to
a whole new level of awesomeness. It looks beautiful running at high speeds
around those sweeping curves and is truly in its element. I would love to see
the interior when it’s finished.
