LEGO has provided ILTCO with some new images of the 2006 Trains. Check them
out in the ILTCO Gallery: The new images start after the box images.

Thanks Mike and ILTCO!
Something just occurred to me and maybe I’m just clueless, but it appears to
me that the wheels on the green croc are new, a la BBB small wheels, using a
technic axle. Does the ICE train use the same wheel type? And if not, then
I assume that the wheels come off the motor block easily. What occurred to
me is that these remote control motors could be used in many other
applications by replacing the train wheels with gears, essentially turning
the “train” motor into a generic remote controlled motor.
Or am I missing something here?

The only thing you missed is people saying the same before. ;-)
These pics are the first ones where it has been possible to properly see the
wheels,they look like cheap BBB knockoffs! (baecause the spokes are only relief
mouldings) Pity they didn’t go for disc wheels with technic axle holes to
provide more variety. I can’t see the wheels on the ICE being any different.
As far as I can tell actual motor unit is not really specifically a train item
at all, more like in a different casing (which is a good
thing) It would have been better still if they had put holes for a centre axle
in too, or even unpowered stub axleholes.
