Would it be too tryhard to find a nice roundhouse and add my entire range of SP, UP, CSX, NS, including heritage packs, around it? Mandatory photo attached to keep a sense of on-topic. I keep thinking about this train as The New HST: Class 67 Diamond Jubilee on good old Oxford-Paddington during its official career scenario.
A class 37 takes passengers on a journey through the Scottish highlands. Route: West Highland Line extension. Loco: Class 37.
NJT #4217 waits to push a train full of sleepy commuters home. Route: North Jersey Coast Line Loco: EMD GP40PH-2B
A Class 37 workhorse hauling clay out of Carne Point en route to Lostwithiel Loco:- Class 37 Route:- China Clay For Export
I like the composition but the graphics settings are too low. You can recreate scenes fairly easily by creating a free roam with the same time of day and season as this photo.
A Union Pacific SD45 leads a train upgrade near Mountain Green, Utah, with a pair of GP35's and a pair of DD35 B-Units. Route: Wasatch Grade Locomotives: EMD SD45, EMD GP35, EMD DD35
Are you man enough? No. You are not man enough. You are little baby man. Go back to little baby man locos, with air-con cabs, fancy traction control and blinky computers. This is iron analogue loco. This is loco for true Soviet Man. A USSR built BR 232 on the Wutachtalbahn route. (With text acknowledgement to Bourbon).
BR 232 on the Wutachtalbahn route. I love this loco; great sounds, great particles and great detail both inside and out. It's very much a grunt and sweat loco, but watch for wheel slip with heavy trains and use sand. The Wutachtalban (Wutach Valley Railway) is a fun route being one of the very few unelectrified German routes in TS. In real life it's part steam heritage railway, part regional railway and part mothballed (though usable). The central section with its loops, spiral tunnel and long steel viaducts was driven by the government's insistence that gradients be no steeper than 1:100, to allow use by heavy military trains.
Have to correct you. In East Germany it was named DR BR 132. In Germany it was named DB BR 232. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DR_Class_130_family Have seen some in real life in Sassnitz and in Lübeck even that I do not live in Germany.

Class 37 BR Blue Split Head Code (Loch Awe) on The West Highland Line South running alongside Loch Treig with the 1931 Tunnel in the background. Great reflections on this route.

A set of UP GP9's roar past with a manifest freight near the Hermosa tunnel on a hot summer day in 1961. Route Used: Sherman Hill Locomotive Used: EMD GP9
A Pennsy F7 rolls through Horseshoe Curve as it passes a merchandise freight one spring afternoon in 1960. Route Used: Horseshoe Curve Locomotive Used: EMD F7
I didn't use any BNSF content though? Those are Union Pacific GP9's, not BNSF. I double checked the excluded content list. The GP9 pack isn't on there. As far as I'm concerned my screenshot is fair game.
This one? https://store.steampowered.com/app/208371/Train_Simulator_GP9_Loco_AddOn/ "This DLC is only available to purchase in the USA." It's used in a lot of workshop and it was on my list I collected to get using alternative methods. Then the gates got closed. Another item that's missing from the list is the SP Bloody Nose F7, being based on the Great Northern. Shame.
Class 37 at the Goods Loop at Blea Moor waiting the Steam Special to pass towards Settle just before the Ribblehead Viaduct.
I think its ok to use those US content if it's not containing problematic content for DTG, it's a UP not BNSF, even the Dash 9 on the Horseshoe curve screenshot has BNSF, but since the paint used is NS it's ok.

-- This screen is not for weekly contest: Deutsche Reichsbahn original livery class 130/132: -- This screen is not for weekly contest: This is a repaint of the original livery as used by the DDR with the correct DR engine number.
I saw one like that in 1980 in Sassnitz leaving the harbor and driving up to the station. I like that red color more than the DB red.
A loaded mixed fright role's along the river and passes under the bridge and into the yard. Loco: NS Dash8-40C Route: Tadami Line
It fits the steam era exactly. I have seen these engines running at Hof Hbf in the 80's hauling interzone trains to Berlin
I deleted my other pictures because I did not like them much. I like this picture much better Here's a picture from Clinchfield Railroad - Elkhorn City to St Paul route. Route: Clinchfield Railroad - Elkhorn City to St Paul Loco: U36C Scenario: Boody Coal Haul, Part 1
