A Bristol bound passenger train 1960s style. Loco:- Class 55 Deltic (55 022 "Royal Scots Grey") Route:- Bristol - Exeter Scenario:- Cornish Explorer
Great pic, love the shadows, but is Western Mainlines on Steam? I've avoided using it for screenshots because I thought it was only on Just Trains?
Thanks bellminsterboy for flagging that up, the scenario is indeed "The Cornish Explorer" from the Bristol - Exeter Route not the JT Western Mainline. I have ammended accordingly. A case of the old grey matter getting muddled up with my South West of London Routes LOL. Cheers

I guess it's normal for DTG to forgot the screenshot contest every second week... It's already 8pm Saturday and still not a single sign of DTG staff "congratulating" the winner.
Regardless of the theme I am thinking this could be a major factor in why a lot of us have lost interest in this comp. 21:00 on Saturday night and no clue as to may have been selected as the lucky winner......AGAIN. And add to that we have an additional bank holiday in the UK on Monday to mark the sad passing of Queen Elizabeth II, so nothing will happen now until next Tuesday at the earliest. This competition is really becoming a total shambles. Even if you do win, with fastload, you rarely get to see your winning contribution as it is relegated to second behing the TSW3 advert. By now I believe we all know that TSW3 has been released, do we still need it top of the TSC loading screen week in week out?
Yeah the passing of Queen Elizabeth II was very unfortunate but, I don't think it's a good excuse to not pick a winner for this contest. Not sure how everyone else feels about it though... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The TSW screenshot competition has also not been judged, though contestants there seem to be a bit more sympathetic, as it's been a busy week for DTG with the release of TSW 3. Hmm.
I fully understand if that is the reason, but be it the passing of the Queen / Launch of TSW3 / Just plain busy as heck / Lack of resource etc. a communication of some sort would have been courteous. Plus this is becoming a regular occurence of late, not just a one off due to present circumstances.
Sorry everyone was away on Friday, did hand over the contest but everyone was busy, will get the screenshots sorted ASAP.
Some really great Freestyle shots everyone, well done all. This weeks winner is IronBladder with this lovely shot of the Royal Train. Congratulations. Next Weeks Contest : https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/tsc-screenshot-contest-week-36-september-2022.59754/
