    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 / Re-shades / 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, June 8th 2025 and will be judged by me - Craigie-C

    In the event of this week's winner not responding by 10PM GMT on Sunday, June 9th 2025, a new thread will be created using the results of this week's poll.

    The theme for this week is: "Just Cruising"
    Feel free to interpret the theme however you wish.
    Good luck to you all.

    Crossing bridges on old branch lines can be a careful business.
    And so, this (ex-) Great Northern GP9 is approaching Rascal mine slow and steady. Time to admire the view.

    Do not disturb the West Highland wildlife. Just keep going, slow and steady.

    Hi all, firstly my sincere apologies for being so late with the judging, have had one of "Those" family weekends.
    But as the saying goes better late than never.
    My top 3 are as follows:-
    3rd Place goes to triznya.andras for this stunning highland wildlife shot.

    2nd Place & runner up goes to Blazin for this almost photo realistic image of a BR189 hauled freight service.

    The honour of being this week's winner goes to malikrthr for this wonderful Amtrak offering, cruising the American way.

    Congratulations malikrthr and to all who took part in offering such a fantastic collection of shots for me to choose from.
    Onwards to week 23 we march, can't wait to see what theme we have to play with.
