NS Mat ’54 ELD4 (Yellow/Light Blue)
NS Materieel ’54 ELD4 (Hondekop) (Yellow/Light Blue)
Materieel ’54 (Mat ’54) was a series of two and four coach electric express (and later intercity) trains that roamed the Dutch Railways (Nederlandse Spoorwegen or NS for short) between 1956 and 1996.
The most prominent visual features are its characteristic nose, which earned it the nickname "hondekop" (dog head/face), and its two-arm pantographs.
Through the years Mat ’54 has appeared in a wide variety of colors and configurations.
This particular variation was painted in the typical yellow NS color scheme (yellow base color with slanted light blue advertisment bands).

Disclaimer: This is my first attempt at creating an asset and I got a little bit carried away. This asset is not the most resource friendly asset around. However, I’d like to think it is pretty well optimised considering the amount of detail. There is definitely room for improvement so I may improve on it later and I may even create a low poly version later on. But I also may not, so don’t hold your breath (this stuff takes ages). 😉
