[MOC] Siemens Krauss Maffei Eurosprinter (CP5600)

[Sérgio]

Hi There!

1:45 scale Lego model of the Portuguese Siemens Krauss Maffei Eurosprinter, CP5600

This model has around 2000 parts, custom lights, HA bricks MS wheels, Buwizz 2.0, and two Powerfunctions L motors.

Also, I pay homage to the LLMTC guys by using an LLMTC printed brick on that boring huge grey wall. (they gave me these bricks after participating in one of their amazing events last year)

This is the most ordinary locomotive in Portugal, currently used in all Intercity Trains (where there is electric wire).

Another excellent model Sérgio. You are becoming a bit of a master at this!

It looks amazing @Sérgio!

Since I’m more familiar with this locomotive, I can tell even more how accurate it is. Although funnily enough, the round buffers look oddly wrong to me instead of the more rectangular ones I’m used to seeing on Renfe’s S-252.

I love the subtle detail of the upper windshield corners. It does so much to capture the look. And the ventilation grills feel so satisfyingly flush against the walls and roof.

That huge grey wall is a pity though, it’s like a blank canvas begging to be filled. But hey, that’s CP’s business…

Great locomotive. The attention to detail is astonishing. The way you did the angled vents on the roofline is perfect.

You have now reached impossible levels of detail ...against the laws of physics!
Excellent curly lines and snot techniques!

You nailed it. The subtle slopes and curves on that locomotive look impossible... and yet you made them possible.

Wow, another beauty. Very impressive how you captured the shape. And nice touch with that tin can tile.

I Updated the Buffers to rectangles, since the CP changed them as well, agree, this is a boring livery :P
