Set 2 in a multipart chronological depiction of an Autumn morning stopping passenger service QuickDrive on Golden Age Developments' West of England Mainline route, recently updated to "phase 2", which extends tracks further eastward to Yeovil Town. Our journey begins there, stopping at all stations until the drive terminates at Exeter. I considered using an official standard scenario for this first complete run on the extended route, but didn't want the hassle of keeping to a possibly tight timetable that might impede screenshot capture. That being the case, I elected to power the train with Caledonia Works rendering of the LSWR 415/0415 class 4-4-2T steam locomotive, commonly known as the Adams Radial Tank. It is seen in Adams Brown Livery, pulling six LSWR coaches. The loco proved insufficient for the task at hand, though we finish the run, by means I'll divulge at the appropriate time. Approaching Yeovil Junction Station: Yeovil Junction Station: Yeovil Junction Station: On the road again: Bonus/bogus image. I could have sworn I saw a few posts here yesterday that included image alterations so that they appeared to be old black&white (grayscale) photos. I am apparently in error, but despite that have decided to go ahead and include an altered version of image 2 (Yeovil Station) from this set, doctored right before bedtime: RW Enhancer 2 (partially gimped due to serz.exe error), AP S&W2+Clouds TO BE CONTINUED . . .
Great screenshots! Also don’t worry, there was indeed some B&W screenshot edits I did of my previously posted run on the Woodhead Line with a Thompson Class B1. However due to it practically simply just being identical to the colour images, but well… not in colour, I decided to delete them as I didn’t want to be regarded as “spamming” the thread with screenshots I had posted just before, but in a B&W edit and in a separate post. I’ll re-post the B&W screenshots though if people are ok with that and do want to see them.
It's all up to you, what you'd want to share and how much. There is something by Jason Kingsley, which resonates with me - The medieval times were the most colorful and extravagant, clothes, statues and buildings alike. Not to forget murals and paintings, the insides of rich cathedrals and castles. We came to associate old times with raw stone because it faded over time, and of course old photographing technology. So that's how we know it - but it never was. Have a similar thought about skies and clouds. Our experience depends on the country, season, humidity, smoke, sand and dust in the air. Descriptions of old Pittsburgh (and else, this time in a documentary about the Westinghouse empire) is just like old UK - so dirty of industrial smoke that people would risk their health. As such, the old, quite gray skies and dark weathers of Kuju TS could be entirely realistic. In contrast, I keep picking and loving the 2-Cloudy weather because that's how it is where I live, mostly blue, in fact 100% accurate. (Just how every winter I experience those yellow to orange mornings I claim to be horrid in TSC.) Felt like sharing it, had an opportunity, not worth a thread.
BNSF EMD SD70MACs '8834', '8970' and '8898' are the leading power on a train of 38 loaded coal hoppers with '8806' and '8903' on the rear assisting on the morning journey north to Barstow, California. The trains locomotives are all wearing the unique Burlington Northern Executive Livery used on EMD SD70MACs in the final years of Burlington Northern's operations and are seen here with BNSF branding applied after the merger with the Santa Fe Railroad went through. The train departs from a red signal south of Victorville on the Cajon Pass and continues north without issue to Barstow covering a distance of about 36 miles. Loco: EMD SD70MAC Route: Cajon Pass
In the Canadian wilderness. E18 power with UIC-X coaches from München to Augsburg. Descending from Soldier Summit. The EWS Executive Class 67 with a Caledonian Sleeper set. Aged UP equipment with a tank train that might as well be a barcode. Or Morse.
Part 3 of a multi-set chronological depiction of an Autumn morning stopping passenger service QD, from Newport to Shrewsbury, on Welsh Marches Line - Newport to Shrewsbury, which makes use of AP's Veggie Pack. Motive power is provided by a Caledonia Works GWR 3031 Achilles class 4-2-2 tendered steam loco, commonly known as a Dean Single. Driver's side cab lean-out: Abergavenny Station: Bonus/bogus doctored image: An ex-LNER E4 is seen not far outside Newcastle Station, en route to Edinburgh. None of this set's captures being ideally suited to the purpose, I settled on an image from a still-ongoing run that might or might not be driven to completion. Should I complete it, my image-set queue is now so long that this shot's source will likely not appear here until mid-year. Be that as it may, I'm right happy with the results, a combination of two separate filters, the intent being to give the image the look of a still taken from an old, somewhat degraded film. It now resides in my Win10 Desktop Background folder. BTW, it seems that when the loco was sent to the shed for conversion to BR black, the paint job didn't quite manage to obliterate the "L" in LNER, which is faintly visible to the left of the "B" on the tender.

Nerd post coming, trying to stay short though. I am in similar shoes. Back when I started sharing screenshots (in 2018), I would not just capture more, but kept them all in a pool. And then I applied various methods at picking them. Same scenario, one of each oldest, etc. I mass removed anything older than one year, until I didn't. Ultimately I decided that it's best to continuously prune, only keeping what I want to share. Five shared a week? Five captured a week. The final rule is simply to maintain 443 pictures in the folder. Because numbers, won't go into them. Two Powershell scripts can help with this whole thing. The first is producing the above table. Shows how much stuff I have to share. ls "...\2*" | group -Property { $_.BaseName.Substring(0,6) } -NoElement | Format-Table -Property Count, Name, @{Label="Count"; Expression={'*' * $_.Count}} -AutoSizeThe second takes a few pictures and now moves them to a folder from where I share. Used to copy, but Steam is dead, so. RefDate is 75 days, so that I don't roll stuff that I'm actively sharing. You can amend this to move one, copy one, or just print the name. $ct = 5 $c = (ls "D:\Screenies\2*" | Measure-Object).Count ls "...\2*" | where {$_.LastWriteTime -lt $refDate} | get-random -Count ($ct - $c) | Move-Item -Destination "D:\Screenies\"And now, let's see if the forums let this through!
Interesting. I tend to do my "weeding" early on, usually as soon as I end a driving session. At that time I select all images deemed worthy of public presentation, copy them into a folder dedicated to TSC post-worthy captures, further weed as/if necessary, then rename all remaining images so that they form chronological "sets" of three to five images each, give or take. Naming is standardized. All begin with TSC (except old TS21 / TS22 images). Next comes the route, normally left as the original capture states it. Then comes locomotive info, followed by the set designation. Lastly, I notate any special info, such as stations a train stops at. The above set's final image, discounting the bogus makeover, is named "TSC Welsh Marches Line - Newport to Shrewsbury - CW GWR Achilles P3-5 Abergavenny.jpg". Nice and simple, if of necessity sometimes long-winded. Sentimentalist that I sometimes am, I don't have the heart to delete images that pass initial weeding. Those, in my Users\<name>\Pictures folder, are eventually moved to a large external (conventional) hard drive, where they take up only a tiny amount of space. Images stored in my post-worthy folder have thus far remained untouched, but will eventually end up on external storage. Either that or I'll buy an even larger conventional internal storage drive. I used to be fairly good at pruning my TSC Steam images. But since the last Steam image manipulation "update", I find the process so cumbersome I now leave 'em to rot there.
Set 4 of a multipart chronological depiction of a mid-summer stopping passenger service QD, from Carlisle to Settle, on DTG Settle to Carlisle route. Primary motivation for the run was to check out the then recently installed AP Veggie Pack. It also came to me that I've never featured Donington's Midland Rwy reskin for CW's GERT26 2-4-0 tendered steam locomotive. According to Rail Map Online, Settle to Carlisle was, in pre-grouping days, part of MidRwy. That, plus an absence of bona fide MR steam locos in my roundhouse, makes the reskin a logical choice. I'm fond of cab lean-out views when landscape and sky are cooperative, as is the case here: Lazonby Station: RW Enhancer 2 (partially gimped due to serz.exe error), AP S&W2+Clounds+Veggies TO BE CONTINUED . . .
First and foremost, let me put spotlight on a BR 52 cab ride. It's very real, raw, with lovely sounds. Rather educational than pretty, with an opportunity to read Pzb, observe a windshield wet from steam, the whole driving stand shaking, apparently two firemen... Maybe old TSC settings with the trains snaking are way more real than one would believe! One more think decrepitts, I also don't delete pictures from my sharing pool (mostly to avoid revisiting) except shared ones, but I have my own collection of very many pictures. As I made it a rule to keep 30 pictures per scenario at most, having 102 from an old one is biasing random slideshows towards old and arguably worse ones. I figured we all share similar number of pictures per scenario, the difference is, some share it together while I spread them out. Onwards to the Day of the Dark Shots. A Selection of Great British Trains in green leave Kings Cross with maroon and cream Mk1s in tow. Fog descends over Soldier Summit as an SD40 tunnel motor lash-up moves up-grade with heavy coal. Another EMD with Coal capture. Embracing the shadowy side here. Spring in northern New Jersey. This Talent is awake early in the morning, a stopper from Trier to Koblenz. Following the real timetable was nigh impossible.
Set 1 of a multipart chronological depiction of a mid-autumn morning stopping passenger service QD, from London to Peterborough, on DTG ECML London - Peterborough route, which makes use of AP's Veggie Pack. Motive power is Caledonia Works' GER T69 4-6-0 tendered steam loco, seen in LNER B12 Lined Black Livery. It hauls what QD terms the 1936 Queen of Scotland Coach Set. As such, I selected Queen of Scots for the loco's headboard. We travel the "slow" track, allowing stops at all stations en route. Note that our B12 bears a different number from that seen in Set 0. Set 0 was conceived as a one-off, to grab a few decent captures of what were, at the time, relatively new (to me) route and loco. Only later did I decide to drive and document a run of the entire route, keeping the three captures from Set 0, foreseeing no way of bettering them: RW Enhancer 2 (partially gimped due to serz.exe error), AP S&W2+Clouds+Veggies TO BE CONTINUED . . .
A day of intense 2007 Summer morning fog descends on the South Wales Main Line as Freightliner Class 70 '70026' departs from the Wentloog Freightliner Terminal with 22 FEA wagons loaded with intermodal freight headed for Southampton on service 4O51 after waiting for another freight train on service 6B68 to pass. After joining the South Wales Main Line; the train faces adverse signals while following the freight train ahead until Newport where a smooth run of green signals begin until reaching Bristol Parkway after traveling 28 miles where the train has to wait for passenger train service 1L38 on the way to London Paddington to depart from Bristol Parkway to be able to proceed. Locos: British Rail Class 70, British Rail Class 175 Route: South Wales Coastal
The year 2003 sees the British Rail Class 377 being introduced into service under Southern; to replace old traction such as the British Rail Class 421 which by 2005 will have it's final run on a main line service. The British Rail Class 421s survived into the privatisation era during this time and so we see Southern Class 421s '1738' and '1735' form an 8 coach long express passenger train from London Victoria to Brighton with one stop in between at East Croydon covering a distance of around 50 miles on this foggy Summer afternoon journey. It's fitting for the British Rail Class 421 to have a majority of it's last main line service runs on the Brighton Main Line as it was first introduced into service here. Locos: British Rail Class 377, British Rail Class 421 Route: London to Brighton
Nice shots Blazin, out of curiousity, how do you get the graphics to look this great? I am back to the vanilla TSC game for now due to crashes I was getting with some mods
Thanks! It's a combination of a lot of different enhancements, settings, PC specs, monitor, etc. First of all I run the game on my 4k 60hz monitor, it makes the game look very crisp and I feel it can make a difference screenshots. If it doesn't and I'm just crazy it at least makes for a nice looking gameplay experience. For the graphical settings side of things; mostly everything is on max but due to the 4k resolution of 3840x2160 causing very low fps when the Anti-Aliasing is at max I have it at FXAA + 2 x 2 SSAA instead of the max option. It works well; edges look fine with this setting on 4k and my game runs around 25-45fps usually. For hardcore gamers that would sound abysmal but as most know for Train Simulator Classic it looks absolutely fine running at that fps rate. The ingame lighting settings I have are mostly adjusted to my ReShade preset (I will get to this later). Here are my specs if it paints a clearer picture of what I have actually inside my PC to get the game to run like what I just mentioned. GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti CPU: Intel Core i7-11700F RAM: 64GB Available I believe those are the most important specs for this sort of thing. When I got this PC; I had TSC just in mind as it's my main game in the first place, so the 64GB RAM was a must do for me to reduce Out of Memory errors and that sorta thing which is necessary when playing with these sorts of settings. But even 64GB RAM still can't defeat the occasional Out of Memory error but I get way less! Now for third party graphics related enhancements; I use quite a lot. General graphics enhancements I use are ReShade and RW Enhancer 2. I specifically have been using PhÜnKî_Rø0sTā's realism shader preset which is available for download here: https://www.trainsimcommunity.com/m...her/i3946-ph-un-kiro0s-tas-reshade-preset-v60 He's set up a specific in-game lighting setting guide you should follow which you can find if you scroll down into the replies on the link provided above and I mostly follow it except I have lowered contrast slightly to suit my preferences. Also ReShade is absolutely free and so is the realism preset and the preset is made without RW Enhancer 2 in mind anyway so it'll look just fine without RW Enhancer 1 / Pro / 2. However the preset is best used with the Armstrong Powerhouse Sky & Weather Enhancement Pack 2.0 from Armstrong Powerhouse's website and it produces excellent results. I also use the Armstrong Powerhouse Cloud Enhancement Pack alongside it. I apply the AP weather to every route I possibly can. For specific enhancements used on routes like the UK; I also have the Armstrong Powerhouse Signal Enhancement Pack, Track Enhancement Pack and Vegetation Enhancement Pack. For the Track Enhancement Pack; I have installed a free texture pack made by Sébastien Neri from Alan Thomson Sim for the Track Enhancement Pack that in my opinion improves the track textures to what I like but I suppose it can be a sort of personal preference thing anyway. That's all I can really think of and I have explained it the best I can. I hope this helps!
Decided do do something different and go for a jaunt up the Maerdy branch. Here we see an industrial J94 Austerity snorting up the steep gradients between Porth and Maerdy with 30 wagons in tow.
Set 3 in a multipart series chronologically documenting a mid-Autumn morning stopping passenger service QuickDrive, from Crewe to Holyhead, on North Wales Coast Line route, acquired during Steam's Winter 2023/24 sale. Having belonged to LNWR in pre-grouping days, I power the train with a favorite steam-era loco, Caledonia Works' LNWR "Greater Britain", No.3435 "Queen Empress" to be exact, seen in Lilac & Cream livery. Though Greater Britain looks to be a conventional 2-4-2 tendered locomotive, it is in actuality a 2-2-2-2 compound loco. It pulls four LNWR coaches, the last of them an observation coach, which I failed to get a decent capture of. On display are AP's Vegetation, Weather and Clouds Packs, as well as RW Enhancer 2. Driver's side cab lean-out scenic view: One of my favorite captures of the entire series; stopped at Chester Station: Chester Station: Departing Chester Station, cylinder cocks engaged: RW Enhancer 2 (partially gimped due to serz.exe error), AP S&W2+Clouds+Veggies TO BE CONTINUED . . .
Four very different TSC runs that I've enjoyed recently: 142004 in GMPTE livery pauses at a frozen Grindleford with Totley Tunnel beckoning... A mixed-up Met-Cam DMU towing a newspaper van is seen somewhere on the North Wales Coast. A familiar sight from my childhood weekends - the morning Birmingham-Holyhead 'Emerald Isle Express' pauses at Stafford. 37421 was a locomotive that seemed to follow me around. In the background the Stafford/Stone/Stoke local unit rests between workings. An evening local passenger service pulls away from Binegar, towards Masbury Summit and Evercreech.
DB Class 189 '189 008-6' departs from a red signal at Priestewitz after waiting for a Regional Express train to pass through and continues on west a freight run to Riesa with 2 Zacns wagons and 20 Sggrss wagons; some loaded and some not covering a distance of around 18 kilometres during a Spring evening on the Leipzig-Dresden Line. Locos: Bombardier Talent 2, Siemens ES64F4 Route: Bahnstrecke Riesa - Dresden
Thanks for sharing your graphics/computer setup, I appreciate it and your advice definitely helped. My setup is somewhat similar I would say. I am using an NVIDIA RTX 3070 for my GPU and an Intel Core i7-12700K for the CPU, along with 32GB of DDR4 RAM. The good thing is, TSC mainly relies more on the CPU then the GPU. Interestingly, before I built my new computer, I was satisfied running TSC on a GTX1060 with an AMD Phenom II X4 965. I decided to give Reshade a try. I must say, the effects look great and bring the quality fairly close to TSW. My monitor though somewhat distorts the colors a bit when changing through different camera angles. Most likely a defect of some sort on the ASUS VG278Q as it mainly does this with some other games like ATS and ETS2. It's not a big problem but definitely noticeable with the different shaders enabled with Reshade. That is good to know the increased RAM helps to reduce the OOM errors. I may at some point upgrade to 64GB or if there is a good deal, perhaps 128GB. Little by little, I am reinstalling the mods again for more immersion and realism. I just brought the AP Vegetation and Track pack and reinstalled the AP clouds, sky and weather packs and decided to use RW Enhancer 2 with the Chqnces preset enabled. Overall, I am happy with the result and what TSC is capable of
The Feather River Canyon Extended. Vanilla TSC, only using my custom sky (AP ToD, adapted for mid/southern US on RailSimulatorCore sky) and the older, softer official AdaptiveBloom shader for slight desaturation. Perfect for me.
Fictional or real? Southern Pacific on the Surfliner. Ran out of water fairly early, sadly, due to a bug. By this point I made a conscious choice to visit multiple routes with a given train, to bring variety to my captures. Kings don't Cross here. Dangerous place, authorized entrance only. The photographer paid a fine, too. The outskirts of Johnstown. Newark, outside New York. Is there an old ark? Only heard of Poldark. Anyway, wet spring afternoon vibes here. DB in the Mosel Valley.
An odd-man-out, one-off, singleton set of captures. We're still on North Wales Coast Line. Our train still consists of an LNWR "Greater Britain" 2-2-2-2 compound steam loco with tender, pulling four LNWR coaches, the last of them an observation coach. The run-proper utilizes the loco's Lilac & Cream special event livery, a favorite of mine. The Caledonia Works' Greater Britain pack contains a second special-event livery, a red/orange affair that seems, to me, somewhat garish. I've never driven a full run with this variant, and likely never will. (Then again, you never know.) That said, I decided to display it here, plopping it down at Chester Station, where the most recently posted run-proper capture set ends, grabbing a few captures as it departs the station and travels through Chester, then calling it quits and returning to run-proper. Departing Chester Station. I wish I had noticed this camera position during the run-proper: RW Enhancer 2 (partially gimped due to serz.exe error), AP S&W2+Clouds+Veggies NOT to be continued.
Looks nice with the autumnal colors and obvious thought, it might look fine with BR Green / Blue stuff. Third shot is pretty neat. Of course, if no likey, then no likey.
I agree that shot 3 is the pick of the litter, and isn't all that bad to boot. And yes, the loco, in its radioactive red incarnation, would likely look less out of place when combined with a different coach set. In my above-posted set, I wanted to stick with the same coach set used with the lilac & cream loco. It might look better with an AP MK1 variant, amongst other options. Still, I doubt I'll ever grow to love it.
The Great Britain class was not Mr Webb's finest - he dabbled in compounding to the neglect of drivability but as far as the LNWR was concerned what he did was almost saintly (the engine crews called him something else! (let us say they were glad when he retired)). His simple designs were outstanding e.g. Coal Tank but his obsession with compounding undid much of his previous good reputation.
Part 8 of a chronological depiction of an Autumn morning stopping passenger service Heritage Rail Tour QD, from Inverness to Kyle of Lochalsh on Just Trains - The Kyle Line, a route purchased at the tail end of Steam's Autumn 2023 sale. The train consists of a Caledonia Works Highland Railway "Jones Goods" 4-6-0 tendered steam loco, seen in radioactive yellow livery, pulling four AP MK1 coaches. According to (link) Rail Map Online - UK & IE Railways (link) Kyle Line was, during the pre-grouping era, part of The Highland Railway, making it a suitable match for the loco.

Inspired by your wonderful screenshots I just had to invest in the CW Adams Radial, the fact they currently have a 25% sale on also helped to persuade me a little. What a wonderful little addition this is to my Southern Rail stock. Just took it for a quick spin from Bournemouth - Swanage and captured these shots travelling though Poole. ....... And a re-run with change of consist. Thanks for the inspiration.
So I deceded to take the TGV for a sprint - and by sprint, I mean I pushed it to its limit to see how fast it could go..... Got it up to 513km/h before unfortunately derailing about 30km away from Lyon. If I had slowed down, I probably would've completed the journey. Marseille to Lyon in 45 minutes.

Thanks for the compliment, and the heads up on CW's Flash Sale. I keep a close eye on CW sales, but this sale somehow eluded me until your mention, which I thankfully saw in time to participate. Is Bournemouth - Swanage part of DTG Southwestern Main Line: Southampton - Bournemouth (which I do not own)?
No, it is one of the wonderful Freeware routes that can be found on Golden Age Developments. https://www.golden-age-developments.co.uk/dorset-coast.html Sadly it is currently unavailable as it is being updated to Phase 2 which they are hoping to release around April / May time all being well.
LOL!!!!! How in the world did I not figure this out? I've taken many a drive on the current version of Dorset Coast, and like you eagerly await its update.
Swapped the "Time Of Day Files" on Koblenz Trier for the AP ones, OMG what a difference, it looks stunning.
A few shots of a Robinson O4 snorting up a mild grade along the original woodhead line. On 1% odd grades she was having a bit of a struggle getting up to a decent speed.
This week's roll... everything is connected, multiple. Let's see: Guess it's a bit late for deep winter shots, but... things can happen in cold places still, right? After the merger of Southern Pacific and Rio Grande, a DVROM (Denver to Roper Manifest) climbs to Soldier Summit from Helper. (Some shots work quite okay but I agree with Spikey that this weather template could use a review and retouch.) From the original Soldier Summit scenarios, here we climb from the other direction. Rounding out the Soldier Summit theme is an Amtrak F40 duo posing for an onsite scrapping maneuver. A nice autumnal scene on Donner Pass. Another angle at SP and SD40T-2 power. The last shot also features an F40PH, which is not scrapped since, but in service as Metro-North 4912, after another rebuild to -3C. The F40PH-2CAT was equipped with a Caterpillar HEP, possibly extracted from the crane above. Noticed its branding, BOB the CAT?
Don't you just love it when you re-visit a route you haven't looked at for years, and with a bit of tweaking create one hell of a load of fun? No idea what inspired me but I woke up this morning with the notion of loading up Nottingham - Netherfield adding the AP Weather pack and then tweaking a scenario to utilise my CW Private Owner wagons and booom!!!!!!!! Fire up the old Fowler 4F and off to Linby colliery we go, to drop off a load of empties for re-filling. #loadafun.com
