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. 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 9:00 PM GMT on Friday, March 31st and will be judged by me - Blazin In the event of this weeks winner not responding by 5:00 PM GMT Sunday, April 2nd, a new thread will be created using the theme with the highest votes in this weeks poll. This weeks theme will be Trainspotters and Railfans - you are free to interpret this as you wish. An example photo has been provided below if you are stuck or need ideas. Good luck to you all.
EXAMPLE SCREENSHOT Remember! It doesn't have to be exactly like this, like I said, it can be your own interpreation of the theme! The example screenshot is only a guideline if you are stuck.
Bashers line the platforms on every station on the Wherry Lines on the last day of the 37 short sets before the FLIRTs take over. ...and they all seem to shop for clothes at the same place
Route: Mosel Valley Koblenz-Trier Train: Rail Traction DB BR 648 A trainspotter "spotted" something on a bridge.
FYI if you do not already own the 89 Badger I can highly recommend it, the included scenario was a fun scenario & I really enjoyed driving it for this comp! It's still on sale for £3.59 so well worth a purchase! If you do make sure you patch it up with new sounds from https://backdatedtrainsim.weebly.com/misc-downloads.html & there is a patch from Jamesivell on ATS too.
I don't think I have anything great to offer here, but want to respect the thread, so just posting my good old ... The next level would be to flirt with a Flirt, but I leave that to you.
Route: Bahnstrecke Strasbourg-Karlsruhe Train: DB BR 155 Press I love having trains in my backyard Today I saw 155 045-9. Btw this loco right now is operated by IntEgro.
To get away from all of these UK bobble hatted, polo neck wearing train spotters lining platforms, I decided to rent a beautiful cottage nestled deep in a stunning Austrian pine forest. Guess who I got for a neighbour

A DB IC coach. In real life the ÖBB Baureihe 1042/1142 is PZB90 equipped making it capable to run in DB tracks all the way to a border station like Emmerich am Rhein Hollandstrecke Köln Hbf Amsterdam Centraal via Arnhem & Düsseldorf Hbf
Route: Chatham main and Medway Valley lines Train: Southeastern Class 375, DB Class 59. Something nice for the winter. I'm going to write the trains down in my trainspotters book.
This unwilling spotter checks his watch & wonders when this old pile of noisy smokey old loco will shift its self so his nice new DMU can come pick him up!
And many years later the same man and his dog are out there everyday, waiting for the passing loco, can't believe he is still wearing the same jumper. (OEBB 86-33 Wiesel Steuerwagen on the Mittenwaldbahn.)
