How an ICE 4 is built ... a camera team follows the build process for a German childrens TV program. It is four parts, each around 13 minutes long. Part 1 is building a coach body. Part 2 is fitting out the inside of a coach body. Part 3 is building the bogies (very abbreviated) and fitting a control cab. Part 4 is assembling a whole train and running it around a test track that is remarkably like a start set oval - and includes a rather fancy system to get a train across the test track without having a diamond crossing in it so it doesn't upset the high speed running on the test track. Worth setting aside an hour to watch all the parts in one hit. It also emphasises how parts are shifted from one place to another around the EU before an item is completed.

Amazing which television lot Alan is looking, but sometimes it can be very interesting, as you see here. Here are the videos for everybody splitted into the 4 parts by direct access. All of them are in German, of course. It is made by the German public television company WDR for its children channel KIKA (= KInder-KAnal). The broadcasting is named "Sendung mit der Maus" ("Broadcast with the mouse"). While these broadcast are made for kids, there are plenty of explanations in German beside these pictures. Aahh - caution @bigdaddyNZ with your mouse cables!

Thanks for the explanation and background info.
