    Rules:
    - Screenshot should be in some way (can be very tenuous) linked to the theme. Otherwise anything goes.
    - You can enter up to 3 screenshots, posted as separate posts. You can delete and replace if you wish.
    - 3rd party content / Reshades / Reskins etc. are welcomed but are not mandatory.
    - Previous week's winner to decide winner (can't enter themselves).
    - The winner chooses the new theme for next week (and becomes the new judge).

    Entries will close at 2100 UTC on Friday, August 9th and will be judged by me - DrTrenchcoat

    In the event of this weeks winner not responding by 5 PM Sunday, August 11th a new thread will be created using the theme with the highest votes in this weeks poll.


    This weeks theme will be: "Steam to Diesel(or electric) transition era"

    Good luck to all.

    (Not exactly sure if this counts, just let me know if it's too loose from the theme)

    Locos: Stroudley A1 Class 'Terrier', BR Class 483

    Class 08 Shunter, Class 76 Electric Locomotive.jpg
    With many steam services being faded out, a BR Class 08 pulls some freight wagons and a BR Class 76 pulls a passenger train which effectively replaces the steam locomotives pulling these services.

    Locos: BR Class 08, BR Class 76
    Route: Woodhead

    Route: Chatham Mainline Train: Class 421/Class 416/ Class 09.
    The early years of London Victoria once again. The 09 replaced a lot of engines for shunting and the 421s and 416 replaced steamers for commuter serices.This picture takes place a bit after replacing started. Screenshot_Chatham Main Line_51.48894--0.14779_03-00-23.jpg

    Stanier Black 5 45430, She might be old, she might be a bit rusty, but at least she still works, which is more than can be said for the gleaming new Class 25 that has had to be rescued after breaking down.

    Route: Settle-Carlisle Train: Class 37/BR Black 5.
    Making it up the hills of Settle-Carlisle requires teamwork. Hopefully no breakdowns occur. Screenshot_Settle to Carlisle_54.20733--2.36552_19-02-13.jpg

    BR Standard Class 9F 4.jpg
    The BR Standard Class 9F, the last stand of British steam as this locomotive was the last steam locomotive to be produced by the United Kingdom. Despite these steam locomotives being one of the most powerful steam locomotives built by the United Kingdom this did not stop the diesels from taking over many services from the steam engines. This BR Standard Class 9F reverses from the Kingmoor Sheds to Viaduct Yard nearby Carlisle Station to assemble a freight train during the 1960s.

    Loco: BR Standard Class 9F
    Route: Western Lines of Scotland

    Great shot but at Exeter St Davids Platforms 4 & 5 (no such thing as a class 43 pannier).

    OOps!!! may I please claim my award for doughnut of the year. :D
    Can only put it down to a last minute rush upload before the contest ended, combined with a senior grey matter moment. LOL
    I have another image from the same scenario taken at Torquay which I mistook for the Exeter one.
    20210116152041_1.jpg
    As for the Class 43 Pannier, don't know what I was thinking.
    I now have an image of a 125mph HST Pannier charging up the Riviera Line firmly planted in my head.

    Congratulations to Pookeyhead on a superb winning shot, and to everyone else on sharing such cracking shots.
