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, July 19th 2025 and will be judged by me - Blazin In the event of this week's winner not responding by 10PM GMT on Sunday, July 20th 2025, a new thread will be created using the results of this week's poll. The theme for this week is: Comical Consists Feel free to interpret the theme however you wish. Good luck to you all.
Notes for this week: 3/4 Backup Themes last week had 1 vote each (Speed, Comical Consists and Different Generations) so I used a random chance wheel to decide which one to use for this week and as you can tell it was Comical Consists. I will be judging this week except if SpeedyGinger reaches out to take over judging what would've been they're week to run.
Comical Livery of the Police 37! Was it just painted for the advert?? I find it funny (Not quite a consist but its all I got )
An Electric Loco pulling an Electric Multiple unit, funny consist to me but I`m easily amused RIght thats the best I have that is remotely in line with the theme.
When someone asked me if I would like to drive a steam loco on the NYMR I did not expect this. At least it wasn't raining.
Thank you two for participating this week. Due to there being only two participants I'll get straight to it. The runner-up in 2nd place is paulc with this shot of a Class 37 with a comical name, I simply really like the way this shot is framed and the lighting is really nice! Craigie-C wins this week with such a unique setup that I have never seen before in this game where I haven't ever seen anything quite like it! Fits the theme perfectly! Congratulations Craigie-C looking forward to your theme for next week.
Cheers Blazin for the win much appreciated. Also my thanks to you for standing in for SpeedyGinger, and to paulc for providing the competition. Onwards and upwards we go to week 29, I will fire up a thread shortly. [EDIT] New thread up and running with the theme :- Nature / Wildlife / Animals Good luck all. https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/unofficial-screenshot-contest-29.92739/
This setup is from the wonderful Leek & Manifold Route from maxtedrw. I can't recommend this route highly enough. It is a superb piece of work with some terrific high quality assets included, and amazingly is Freeware.
