Dovetail Games Your Best Photo Mode Shots!

Here is my best Photo Mode screenshots from October, enjoy!!!

5th Place:


Three Great Western Railway HSTs and a GWR Class 166 sit at Old Oak Common ready for service

4th Place:


As 377161 arrives from London Victoria, 700020 sits in Reigate Siding to allow 377161 to get into Reigate in order to keep to the timetable

3rd Place:


385109 arrives into Lenzie working an Alloa-Glasgow Queen Street service as the 'Bo'ness Tractor' railtour led by 37699 passes through heading towards the reversing point of Edinburgh Waverley

2nd Place:


As the sun sets on the S-Bahn Vorarlberg, ICE119 to Innsbruck arrives into Feldkirch worked by a DB BR 403 'ICE3'

1st Place:


A Railpool Vectron passes a level crossing on the outskirts of Lubeck working a car train from Lubeck to Rothenburgsort yard in Hamburg and the lineside foliage looks great in this photo too

 

Not trying to rain the parade here, but those headlight floor reflections without visible source certainly look weird to my eyes.

 

Yeah, it's annoying as it is strange that the headlights floor reflections don't exist on the Vectron

Regardless, it is a good shot

 

Santa Fe
All the way

 

Heres a couple of my latest shots.

 

This is the Metrolink I miss and grew up with.

 

Due to a high spot count of available F125 locomotives, the lone F40 on the roster, the 800, is pinch hitting on todays run.

 

In 1997, a DB BR 103 electric locomotive heads a train between Mainz and Koblenz along the Linké Rheinstrecke route that traverses the famous Rhine River in Germany.

Stunning Autumn colours dominate the scene as the 103 heads an express international service to Zürich in Switzerland .

 

A cloudy and rainy morning in August...
