Hi everyone! I have decided this week's winners. There was a lot of great submissions this week and it was hard to choose. A tie for 3rd place, Pookeyhead with their fabulous screenshot of a Class 37 on the West Somerset Railway and paulc with their marvellous screenshot of a Class 86 pulling a rail tour on the WCML Over Shap. In 2nd place, is Buynot with an amazing screenshot of Grand Canyon Railway #18 on the Arizona Divide. And in 1st place, is Craigie-C with their fantastic screenshot of a Steam Gala Day at the Barrow Hill Roundhouse & Heritage Centre. This is what heritage railways are all about, a lot of history, all preserved and gathered in one place for everyone to enjoy and see. Wonderful screenshot! Thank you everyone for your submissions, they were all amazing and it was hard to choose the winners and congratulations to the winners. Craigie-C I hand it over to you for next week. I can't wait to see what theme you choose.

I love the variety of subject material, from Buynot's stunning Western Maryland to the gorgeous little Peckett W4 from Ardaeshir amongst some classic US & UK diesels of bygone days, just love this thread.
