There is a lack of ICE-emus and IC-consists, caused by construction mistakes (use of wrong sort of steel for ICE-axles) and bad maintenance by DBAG (axles, air condition). So DB Fernverkehr uses some Siemens Eurorsprinter and classifies it as class 117. Here arrived DB 117 034-9 on 27th of June 2010 in Dortmund.
