So today is the start of my holiday, and since I’m departing for Germany in little over a week, I figured kicking off with a DB ICE 3M or Baureihe 406 would be the perfect start to the upcoming three weeks!
First things first; I’ve still got one week of home in The Netherlands to go, before I set off to Berlin, Hamburg and Sylt! That means that I have a lot of days planned of shooting footage domestically in the upcoming week, ranging from domestic services to the entire international fleet, which will see a lot of changes starting in October.
One of those changes, if you can believe it or not; is the withdrawal of these sets. Perhaps the sleekest and one of the more modern looking units The Netherlands still sees. Fact of the matter is, these sets are plagued by all sorts of technical difficulties, and will be replaced by the new ICE 3 Velaro MS sets or Baureihe 408. Mind you, these beauties are already over 20 years old.
One of my main goals this week is to capture several dual sets, as I haven’t captured a single dual service yet!

The ICE remains a beautiful train! Cool to see how fast she accelerates 🤩 I think and hope that she will remain the star of Europe for a while 😏
Looking forward for seeing your new adventures in Germany. Have a wonderful holiday with lots of fun and enjoyment!!! 🚅🚆🚂🚄
Zo'n mooie trein in zo'n station….
