Wow, a very tough choice this week! After long considerations, we are giving this win to -PjM-. Congratulations! New thread: https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/tsw-screenshot-contest-week-7-february-2020.20858/
Wow indeed! Thanks. I thought Schnauzahpowahz had got it with his excellent shot. Mind you there were plenty of great pictures this week I thought. Very difficult to pick. Well it makes the (enjoyable) evening spent moving all those locos into place worth it. I had to restart twice because I kept getting them on the wrong tracks.
Well done PJM. Now that you've won I do have a question about it, though. Was it difficult to get all those locos lined up like that? Personally, I often find on NTP I end up getting stopped by red signals if trying to move a loco in a direction and time that's not part of the service.
While there are like always alot of great shots, i saw your 2 -PjM- and thought "welp, go ahead and shut the thread down then.."
Not difficult as such, more time consuming. As I said I had a couple of aborted starts. All 5 locos are standing dead at Holbeck. I spawned in then had to start each one and in turn shuffle them around the depot sidings to suit. The one tricky part was that there is a ground signal that controls the depot's exit so this restricted the movement of a couple locos, I had to adjust my plans to which sidings I could use. Eventually it was just a matter of climbing in and out of each loco and nudging it forwards or backwards for the final line up. As a NTP challenge to anyone have a go at replicating the image. It's quite fun. I thought similar when I saw yours so I didn't know whether it was worth posting mine. But since I'd spent the time mentioned above I thought I might as well.
