and train_UCL you may want to consider optimising some of your render stuff. Try for a start to turn off raytracing for objects that dont need it. That will speed your renders up no end!! user added image

48 hours to render a single frame, I'm sure that has something to do with why they have like 2700 CPU's in there render farm.

I have heard that but that number is a little misleading. It is not you hit render and the frame is done 90 hours later. They are composite work and from the start of each render that will be composited the "Frame" took 90 hours to render. I could be wrong but that is what I think I read.
