    Welcome to the Unofficial Screenshot Competition!
    This is a fun and friendly alternative to the official Screenshot Competition run by DTG.
    Here you can share your weekly themed TSC screenshots using any 3rd party / post shot editing etc. creations which are not allowed in the official competition.

    Rules:
    • TSC only shots allowed.
    • 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).
    • The Judge of the week's decision is final.
    • We strongly discourage any negative comment or criticism of another entry by a fellow contributor, this is a light hearted & fun contest! 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 10PM GMT on Saturday, May 24th 2025 and will be judged by me - Craigie-C

    In the event of this week's winner not responding by 10PM GMT on Sunday, May 25th 2025, a new thread will be created using the results of this week's poll.

    The theme for this week is: Out Of The City
    Feel free to interpret the theme however you wish.
    Good luck to you all.

    Fair distance from any city, really.

    Hired in 57604 is seen at the head of 2Y61 to Mallaig. Loosely based off 315 working the Jacobite recently in Northern Belle colours. 20250518205247_1.jpg

    This Amtrak Northeast Regional is approximately 58 miles out of NYC but on it's way, about 50 minutes out. Next stop is Princeton Junction, followed by New Brunswick, Metropark, Newark-Penn Station and finally New York-Penn Station.

    Bombardier Talent 2 11.jpg
    DB Regio Class 2442s '2442 214' and '2442 701' of the Bombardier Talent 2 model are on the front and rear of a 4 coach shuttle service working in the state of Tyrol, Austria and seen climbing the hills heading out of the city of Innsbruck in the background heading west to Kranebitten on a wet Autumnal night. After this, the train will then head back down to Innsbruck Hbf due to multiple tunnels on the Mittenwald Railway (Mittenwaldbahn in German / Deutsch) being out of action due to recent bad weather.

    Motive Power: Bombardier Talent 2
    Route: Mittenwaldbahn: Garmisch-Partenkirchen - Innsbruck
    Scenario: [BR442] 3. Innsbruck Shuttle

    About as far away from any city as you could get, with the only manmade objects visible the railroad, a northbound Union Pacific manifest crosses the giant trestle at Dry Canyon.

    Morning all, firstly my thanks for providing such a terrific set of shots for me to ponder over. The pondering has now come to an end and my podium places are awarded as follows:-
    In joint 3rd place, Lily_Yoshimi with this almost sepia coloured Woodhead capture, love the lighting.

    and also malikrthr for this fantastic Amtrak AEM-7AC image.
    upload_2025-5-18_22-37-59.jpeg
    Joint 2nd place is awarded to both mfeets for this wonderful Dry Canyon shot. That is certainly way out of the city, and taken from a great angle emphasises just that.
    20250502230258_1.jpg
    and also Blazin for this amazing Sherman hill shot using the unusual Union Pacific FEF-3 and EMD SD70ACe combination.

    Which leaves me to announce this week's winner as .........................
    ....... burnsys_bashes for this glorious West Highland Line scene.
    To me it captures the theme perfectly with the lovely calm water reflecting both the beautiful background scenery and the 37. Well done.

    20250519201154_1.jpg
    So the golden Master Key is yours burnsys_bashes to lead us into week 21.
    Look forward to seeing what theme you decide on.
    Many thanks to all for your contributions and allowing us to keep this thread alive and well. :love:
