Hornby is a train set. I figured that we spend a lot of time on here trying to simulate realistic things I thought it would be nice to see something similar to a five year old randomly putting locos, carriages and wagons together without a care in the world.
When the curves are too tight on the layout and you're going at high speed... or just 6 year old me making up a crash scene.
A 23 car Virgin / BR Inter City 125 consist. The BR one came with my set & I borrowed the Virgin one from a mate.
Some of these shots definitely capture what it's like watching my two little ones play trains. I thought it would be nice to have a week where you could play trains as opposed to simulate trains. Enjoy doing things you would otherwise never do on this thing.
If you want to get some good Hornby-style screenshots - there are a few trackmat style routes on the workshop - https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=708172189 and https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=482241879 are a couple of good ones. Of course though, from what I can see you don’t need a special route to get a good playing-with-trains style screenshot.

3rd Place: JGRudnick's fabulous roundhouse collection. 2nd Place: Ironbladder not playing with the trains in the way you are meant to. 1st Place: NEC Railfan who has perfectly captured what my children are like when the play trains. Grab every piece of rolling stock, go to all the trouble of coupling them together and then having them all immediately derail as soon as you try and move them.
