Welcome to the Unofficial Screenshot Competition! This is a fun and friendly alternative to the official Screenshot Competition run by DTG. Our rules: Screenshot should be in some way (can be very tenuous) linked to the theme. You can enter up to 3 pictures, posted separately. You can delete and replace if you wish. TSC only shots allowed. 3rd party content, enhancement and artistic editing is accepted. Thread poster picks the podium and can't enter themselves. The decision is final. The winner chooses the new theme for next week and becomes its judge. We strongly discourage any negativity, 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. The theme this week is Preservation. (Mainline or Heritage Railway) Entries will close at 9:00 PM GMT on Friday, September 1st and will be judged by me KTL_Rob Powell In the event of this week's winner not responding by 5:00 PM GMT Sunday, September 3rd, a new thread will be created with the backup theme Freestyle as its always a popular choice. Good luck and have fun!
