    Welcome back to the Train Simulator Screenshot Contest!

    This Month's theme is: Spring has Sprung

    Follow us on Instagram (instagram.com/trainsim) to see your screenshots featured on our feed!

    How does it work?
    You can submit your screenshot to the thread, and every Month we will choose which screenshots will go to the loading screens. Shortly after, we will open a new thread and announce the winners. Each Month has its own theme which is voted for by the community.

    Competition Rules:
    • Limit is 2 screenshots per person; 1 screenshot per post.
    • Include in your post the route the screenshot was taken on as well as the name of the train (if applicable).
    • Screenshots must be in a 16:9 resolution, at least 1920x1080 pixels.
    • Screenshots must fit the theme of the Month, as stated at the beginning of this post.
    • In order to qualify for the competition, screenshots must be taken from products published by Dovetail Games that are currently on sale.
    Other Rules:
    • Official content only. Please make sure anything that is not available on the Steam Store or Dovetail Store is not shown in the screenshot. - This means no reshade, repaint mods, track upgrades or workshop routes.
    • Your entry may be disqualified if it is deemed to not follow these rules. Please limit chat to only when absolutely necessary.
    • Competition closes at mid-day Monday (UK time). The winner will be chosen once a Month on a Monday.
    • Winner's Prize: The winning screenshot will appear in the game as a loading screen for 1 month!


    Please refer the terms and conditions for this competition here:

    My interpretation of spring and sprung!
    Loco: BR Class 60. Route: could be anywhere, but it is in fact ECML North: Newcastle - Edinburgh.

    It's anything you want provided it has a theme of 'spring'. My first entry is a rather whacky interpretation of spring.

    Good luck with your question to DTG Jamie Your response might be answered sometime in 2026.
    DTG Alex DTG Adam DTG Charles DTG Harry DTG Jake E DTG JD DTG Katie DTG Liam DTG Lukas
    Will any of you acknowledge any of our concerns regarding TSC?
    Could one of you please clarify that now your total focus is Thomas The Tank and TSW5, and that TSC is dead once and for all.
    Or alternatively there is someone left in DTG world overseeing TSC?
    You are more than happy to take our money for new purchases, and entice us to take up your offers. and for a newbie to TSC they would be investing in a dead beast.
    As a long standing customer who has spent £thousands on your platform, please respond

    let’s be honest, when it comes to DTG input, TSC is long past it. Doesn’t surprise me stuff like this is ignored. TSC as a game is booming right now with third party developers currently creating some of the best content this game has ever seen! PLD, Caledonia works, SSS, Forge sim, GAD have produced content that rivals and even surpasses TSW in a much older system, but DTG don’t seem to be much of a part of this evolution. Sad I guess. (Also a customer who’s been playing since railworks, but TSW is clearly the focus) DTG want ur money from their cuts off steam purchases, and why not there’s plenty there, but this game has gone so far beyond that… so a screenshot comp for a loading screen is hardly their concern when they have a literal TTTE brand deal going on with TSW rn :/

    this is exactly way TSW is so locked down hell as a 3rd/4th party dev myself for this game it sucks when i even attempt to do anything in TWS reskinning in the World Franchise is bloody Disgusting to deal with, if your gonna do a Layer based Set up ... Take a page out of Forza's book with Horizon that or just allow us to export the Texture sheets as Pervious it's just far easier
