RENFE 318 ALCO locomotive

Every time I begin a new article series on my travel blog, I start with the trains.
And for Galicia (Spain) I was thinking about the locomotive that sits in Santiago de Compostela = Series 318
I worked on this project for almost 26 hours and I am halfway there.
I still need to make the coaches and the Santiago de Compostela train station.

I come back to this post with part 2/3 → the passenger car.

I tried as much as possible to make the same model as the one seen in the Santiago de Compostela Train Station but in reality, is a mash between that vehicle and some others (I did not know what some areas looked like).
It looks like the CWffv vehicle, M.Z.A. (Madrid, Zaragoza, Alicante) but with many details from the vehicle sitting at Santiago.

Took me well over 10h to complete (in Blender) but had more than 13h in total with the researching part (not a lot of information on the web, and where I did find, most pictures were Error 404).

So far this is the biggest project I did on the M1Pro 16GPU Apple Silicon, and so far I still wish to sell my laptop… I do not talk about bad performance in Render or EEVEE but about the flickering while working.
