[Hasenbraeter]

The Taurus is the best loco I've ever driven. Even the sound when they start to drive is like music in my ear ;)

5/5*

They sound just as nice inside then?

[Hasenbraeter]

Not as loud as it is from the outside, but yes, they do. I am sadly very rare on a Taurus, but when I am, than I will film this and put it here, so you can hear it.

[89001avocet]

Thanks - just leave it as a Video Response or similar.

[89001avocet]

Yep, build by OeBB in Linz I think

[Fincut81]

No. Build by SIEMNES in germany.

[89001avocet]

You should find it was built by OeBB at their workshops in Linz as sub-contractors to Siemens - to free-up workshop space at Krefeld and to keep costs down - parts were manufactured at Krefeld, then assembled at Linz

[Fincut81]

No way, never. There is no know-how for this in austria.

[89001avocet]

There is, honestly...it's german bits and pieces but final assembly takes place at Linz

[OBB1016]

I love Taurus.

[89001avocet]

Nice video, Austrian Loco, Italian Coaches, German Station. Like the sound of the loco btw

5 stars

[89001avocet]

yep, that's exactly what we don't see enough of being stuck here on a little island like Britain; a through train from Germany to Italy, formed of one countries' coaches (you can guess there's another train-pair formed of DB stock), pulled (usually) throughout by one engine (Austrian in this case 'coz it's the 'middle' company), and visiting all countries it passes through (obviously!)

[alex57601]

Sounds like a violin in the background as the loco powers up! Hellfire!!!

[89001avocet]

Yep, it's the Phase Invertor for the 3-phase AC traction equipment! :D
