German built, but it's only called "Taurus" (trademark of the ÖBB) in Austria (as austrian I have to say that ;) ). Too bad the Taurus 3 no longer has that sound.
avesome. All locos the electrics of corse they are the powerest between all. and has soun they are a masterpiece same thing on this video. Nice job. fantastic.
The wonderful sound is the result of solid state thyristor control of the locomotive's motors. Thyristors are the same things that you find inside a light dimming switch at home.
Funny, but it almost sounds like a symphony of violins. Pretty neat! Older American electric locomotives northeasten U.S usually sound like refrigerators. Thanks for sharing :)
I think that if you search for 'Plan V optrekken' you'll get some results of our oldest trains (about 40 years) Those more sound like... eh well... like Plan V's!!! (sorry, the sound is undiscribeable)
taurus is better :P

Yes, those thyristors do sound nice.
Personally I think the best sounding electric is a Taurus, or in ICE3, though.

That train sounds exactly like a class 365 EMU when it just starts to pull away before the current frequency starts to "step" up when moving.
