    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 / Reshades / 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.
    • Under no circumstances will any negative comment or criticism of another entry by a fellow contributor be tolerated. This is a major "we are all friendly" thread and will always remain so.
    • Please keep chat to an absolute minimum.
    Entries will close at 21:00 GMT on Friday, November 18th and will be judged by me - Paulc

    In the event of this weeks winner not responding by 17:00 Sunday, November 20th, a new thread will be created using the theme with the highest votes in this weeks poll.


    This weeks theme will be Loco Doubleheader or more

    Good luck to all!

    Railfreight Distribution liveried 37673 & 37670, with a rake of 11 loaded TIA china clay wagons, leaves Bristol Temple Meads en route to Maindee North Junction (Newport) . This working was famous at the time for two reasons. The first, being the longest distance direct freight service on BR at 550 miles. The second, its spotless TIA wagons, nicknamed 'Silver Bullets'. Date: 23rd October 1992.

    I've just PM'ed Limyfox as they have not responded, I see I failed to include a poll with a backup theme :o what I'll probably do is pick a theme from past polls that has not been used & post up a new comp soon.

    Cheers for that Paul, Much appreciated,
    I feel it would be good if you still offered your contributions to the comp next week, just a shame you can't vote for yourself. :(
