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, November 15th 2025 and will be judged by me - Blazin In the event of this week's winner not responding by 10PM GMT on Sunday, November 16th 2025, a new thread will be created using the results of this week's poll. The theme for this week is: Common Locomotives / Multiple Units Feel free to interpret the theme however you wish. Good luck to you all.
One of the most common Locos for hauling UK freight trains is the Class 66 "Shed". This capture depicts 66 148 in DB Maritime livery hauling steel along the South Wales coastal network.
A common sight on the MML is the Class 158 DMU. 2 examples of said class are seen here in Northern Rail and EMR liveries heading out of Nottingham for Leeds and Matlock respectively.
The 'common as dirt' O4 pulls a freight (conflats and wagons) up the bank to Stoke Tunnel from Grantham on an early Spring morning. The skyscape and low sun really appealed to me!
Sorry for pushing the results a bit late, I was trying to get at least one submission from someone else so that it could be some kind of a competition! In 3rd Place is cunningn#3154 with this stunning sunrise shot of an O4!! Love the mood! In 2nd Place is this shot from Craigie-C, love this wide and grand view of this area with like the previous shot from cunningn, a brilliant atmosphere to it as well! I also love how the Class 66 here is in a more unique livery than most of the standard operators seen in this game. In 1st Place is this wonderfully detailed landscape shot from Craigie-C ! This shot does not lack detail in any area and feels as if it could be a genuine photograph with a fun train as well, don't see people drive things like the Class 105 in TSC often! The lighting angle is perfect here as well. Well done! Looking forwards to your theme for Week 44 Craigie-C !
Craigie-C remember to make a new thread mate. It would probably be best at this time if said new thread covered Weeks 44-45 considering it is now quite late in the week but it is up to you.
Cheers for the prompt mate, I have sadly been away for a couple of days and just playing catch up. Also many thanks for your excellent critique of our contributions, it is great to get quality feedback Will post new thread within the next hour. [EDIT] New thread up and running with the theme Back In The Day https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/unofficial-screenshot-competition-week-44-45-2025.95367/
