Velaro Rus (feat. TEP70BS-018) test rides, April 2009

[trident3b]

they used to have a wider track in Russia if I remember rightly. Is this still the case, and if so, has this ICE been adapted i.e. runnung with a wider set of wheels for the Russian tracks? They won't have put down narrow tracks just for that train would they?

нафига он нужен- так долго едет. Лучше на самолете

@TruePozerBoy

на самолете выходит дольше с учетом аэропортов за чертой города и пробками.

yes i mean that probably the same as the German DB has. They named IC3. Anyway its a very beautiful train and i like it much better as in yours version with the red color in front of it, SOUPER

[panos1977]

IS THIS ONE THE IC3 FROM THE GERMAN DB?

[RuAlexVL]

@panos1977 This train is a version of Siemens Velaro (ICE-3) train for Russian railways. Made in Germany, runs in Russia :)

@RuAlexVL

as RENFE run a variant as well, do they have telescoping axles so they can change rail gauge, (just like the talgo trains)

@panos1977

Kind-of no. Its the Siemens Valero train, that is hevaly based on the ICE3, but its not the same train. It is heavyer and wider and don´t run that many electrical system. Also the Valero have a diffrent design speed to the ICE3. ICE3 have a maximum design speed of 320 but the Valero have 380km/h, thow the russan version only do 250km/h

[IMYVaKE]

@matsv201 On the selected route may be 350 km/h

[RuAlexVL]

@IMYVaKE No, too many curves on this route for such speed. Regular riding now is up to 250 km/h, faster - only experimental rides

видео поддтармаживает

[RuAlexVL]

Flash player - ацтой. подтормаживает - скачивайте(например через videosaver) и смотрите обычным плеером или качайте FullHD оригинал.

[RussianRailroad]

тут дело наверно не в плеере, видимо криво залилось

[RuAlexVL]

он так ведет себя в основном на статике с активным движением и не только у меня.. ИМХО, неадекватно работает межфреймовая компрессия. Скачивайте и не парьтесь :-)

[RussianRailroad]

хз с остальными видео никогда такого не было :)

[roofanhealer]

Неплохой поезд, только билетики дорогие.

[vadim001]

@roofanhealer да, 3000 руб. - самое дешевое, особо не покатаешься...

[IMYVaKE]

@vadim001 НУ вообще 2300 руб а утренний в воскресение 1800 руб

[RuAlexVL]

There is also FullHD version and photos (see links in details)
