Long time ago, anyone has asked for a tutorial for these conversion. Here is my second, based on Electrotren #2411 model. Electrotren has realized some different versions, so is its possible to have another detail shapings.

In that RENFE vs. OSE meeting you can see the differences:

What is to do:
- Fill all holes of mirrors, small lights, signal holders and the hole of the spanish vacuum brake with putty.
- Remove the middle part of the roof cover, drill new holes for two crane rings.
- The two headlights should be turned of a angle 90 degrees. You can make it by drilling small holes of 0,3mm around:

If all proper drying out, you can milling it to get a smooth surface. Don`t forget the yellow stripes, because they are visible under the new color coating. Then add 4 classification light clusters from Cristo, a train heating chimmey and a socket for the antenna.

Some detail modifications will follow in the second part.
