It is an amazing feat of engineering. The EU has now put laws into place to require trains to have a "nose" for safety reasons which the IC3 trains don't have, so enjoy them while you can.
@@christophermatre1983 This is something a guide told me when I was on a tour guide of the trains. I have googled a bit but I cannot find anything that says its actually true. If it is true then it must have something to do with "crumble zone" or "crush zone" of the front of the trains.
@@simpleton6813 you're right. EU crashworthyness standards have increased which is why we ended up with the Vectron... the Taurus was not safe enough (demonstrated in the Szony train crash in 2007) and they had to re-design the cab for the Vectron. its the same with the Bombardier Traxx and Softronic Transmontana. it all happened after the train crash at the Luxembourg-France border in 2004. However this doesnt mean that all non-safe trains need to be retired (same with cars), they just run untill they no longer can.
IC3 trains doesn't make as much noise either and IC3 trains 🚆 is actually from Randers, Denmark 🇩🇰 since 1997, and this kind of trains are not leaving Denmark not yet because not all lines have electricity and yes, a lot of tracks do not have electricity or electrified electricity yet, it also costs too much money and The scandal-hit IC4 trains are expected to be phased out and scrapped in the mid-2020s, while IC3 will be phased out by the end of 2027, by the my friends 😉😊😎😀😄😃🙂😁🤠🤜🏻🤛🏻👍🏻🤘🏻🍺🍺🍺🍻🍻🍻

I have always wondered how the connection was made after hearing someone mwntik offhand that these units can be doubled up, thank you for showing how it actually works
In the Dutch ICM trainsets there used to be automatic doors to go from one trainset to another. A fully automatic system so easy to handle. But after many years of service the automatic mechanism became unreliable. So decoupling of trainsets became a risk which the Dutch railways didn’t want to take anymore. So they closed them permanently. The IC3 system is beautiful in it’s engineering but laboursome. For most railway companies that would be a problem.

In Belgium we couple and uncouple the Type96 multiple times a day to have a connection between Antwerp and Lille (France). It's an incredible system, but pretty obsolete. I like doing the folding procedure because I think it's cool, tho most of the staff don't bother doing it anymore because the paravan panels are acting up after nearly 30yrs and most travellers don't know they can go from one train to the other.
I've always found them fascinating and wondered for years how they actually work Seeing this is great but I can see how great a hassle it is (typing this from a class 96 (#480) in Lille)
