Are you talking about the latest 2019/2020 ICE3? Then there is no way to DCC it, without major surgery. They have an all new motor and nicely weighted cars (wagons) to run fast and smooth.
The older ICE models, I started to get them modified but never completed as I had continued motor problems and Rokuhan introduced the Shinkansen which was relatively easy to convert to DCC.

I was looking at VELMO and they say it’s sold out, that means they don’t produce it anymore. Maybe there is coming something new. In the moment I can’t help you. SORRY!

Hi, Zmodell is me  Yes, Velmo does not produce anything for ICE 3 anymore. That was the reason why I decided to develop my own decoder for this train set and equip it with sound. Full report in English is here: f.z-freunde-international.de/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=14524 (registration required). Greetings, Alex |

Your Browser usually will ask you to translate. Unfortunately, I have never seen the ZFI site with a Language flag to do this within their site.

Casey, Both Microsoft Edge and Apple Safari offer in-line translation. For Edge it's the funny icon with an "a" and chinese character to the right of the address bar, for Safari it's the AA icon to the left of the address bar. To get you started the page in question translates to:  Alles ende, alles gute, Mark |
