This is a major "we are all friendly" thread and we hope it will always remain so. Please keep chat to an absolute minimum. Entries will close at 9:00 PM GMT on Friday, June 9th and will be judged by me - cscarpenter In the event of this weeks winner not responding by 5:00 PM GMT Sunday, June 11th, a new thread will be created using the theme with the highest votes in this weeks poll.

One of the more colourful liveries, a London Overground Class 313 caught in the early autumn evening sunlight.
Much colour to be seen on the streets of Italy, just south of the border of Switzerland. The wonderful plants and flowers seen to be growing at this coffee store, the distant green mountains, the Italian Flag, the extravagant cars such as a yellow Lamborghini and even things like the teal umbrellas of the tables of the cafe and of course we cannot forget Rhaetian Railway ABe 8/12 '3510' 'Alberto Giacometti' making it's way down the street after departing from Tirano northbound for Switzerland.

I wish it wouldn't be as pixelated as it is. I kept it because funny. It's not impossible the stripe on the train is painted with tomato pigments.

Wow, thank you cscarpenter! Many good & great shots offered. Will have to see who else I'm congratulating You might / could just describe the posts. We had the same issue a few weeks back. Maybe after the attack a few months ago, admins restricted the forums a bit. It was recommended to just download and repost the pictures. Might be able to simply reference them. This might also be a nudge to just select top 3, that should fly.
Congratulations triznya.andras for the 1st place win! Also what is going on with the game currently? I am just curious as to where the complaints are coming from here. Yes there was a core update a month or two ago now that was quite buggy but wasn't that all fixed with an update just the other day so shouldn't it be fine now? Either way it is frustrating but unfortunately a necessary step we must take to make sure we can play this game for years to come, I still do have some cautious optimism though.
I have no idea. Being as vocal as I am, maybe DTG made sure to please specifically me. I have no problems whatsoever with the patches. Might be better to keep this convo in its dedicated thread, even though we're below the finish line here so whatever. What surprises me though is the lack of participation in the official competition. Right now that's like a unit test. Sure, salt & pepper, but still.
Most likely because of the large amount of links the automated filtering mistook your post for spam. No worries, I rocked up to my PC and approved the message for you. Have a nice weekend!
That is what is most annoying, I simply copy and pasted the already accepted images with just simple descriptive text the same as we have done for the past two years, but for some unknown reason we now we have to wait for moderator approval.
Thanks for that, much appreciated, I have deleted my rant accordingly. Just out of interest, does a simple Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V now flag up as multiple links as I have used that practice week in week out for years in this thread with no problem? Again thanks for your speedy response, last time this happened we had to wait till the following Monday for a resolution.
