    Welcome to the Train Sim World Screenshot Contest!


    This week's theme is: Running Round Trains


    You can vote for next week's theme in the poll attached to this thread.

    How does it work?

    You can submit your screenshot to the thread, and every Monday we will choose which screenshots will go to the loading screens. Shortly after, we will open a new thread and announce the winners. Each week has its own theme which is voted for by the community.

    • PLEASE NOTE - on TSW3, this means recent screenshot images might not go up straight away but will make sure that your image will go on the loading screen, TSW2 will be unaffected by this.

    Competition Rules:
    • Limit is 2 screenshots per person; 1 screenshot per post.

    • Include in your post the route the screenshot was taken on as well as the name of the train (if applicable).

    • Screenshots must be in a 16:9 resolution, at least 1920x1080 pixels, even better if it’s 4K!

    • Screenshots may be taken on Playstation 4, Playstation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X & S or Steam.

    • Submissions must fit the theme of the week, as stated at the beginning of this post.
    Other Rules:
    • Official content only. Please make sure anything that is not available on the Steam Store or Dovetail Store is not shown in the screenshot. - This means no community mods.

    • No entries to include vehicles using Livery Designer. Due to licencing limitations we are unable to use these images.

    • Your entry may be disqualified if it is deemed to not follow these rules. Please limit chat to only when absolutely necessary.

    • Competition closes at mid-day Monday (UK time). The winner will be chosen every Friday.

    • Winner's Prize: The winning screenshot will appear in the game as a loading screen for 4 weeks!
    How To Get shots:
    • Setting up the shot
    If you are playing on Steam the keys “2” or “3” will offer a selection of pre-set external views, or you can use “8” to get a free camera with more control. If you are playing on console pressing the right joystick will give you a free external camera. Console players can change the camera angle moving the two joysticks, and on Steam the direction keys and mouse will achieve the same results. 
    T&C:
    • Please refer the terms and conditions for this competition here:
    https://dovetailgames.com/competition-terms-and-conditions/
    • Note that by submitting an entry to this contest, you are consenting to us using your screenshot as a loading screen and showing it on our social media channels (such as Instagram)

    As I understand it, a run-around is the process of bringing the locomotive of a train from one end to the other (through the use of a parallel track). I have no such screenshots, nor do I have the time to play this week, but somehow, you must show a locomotive heading to the other end of the train.

    Also just found this.

    Same with me, I'm seeing an empty IMG tag placeholder.
    Sometimes it shows just the name of a pic, but Reload Image option is there and shows it.
    I have come across a few, including TSC, so could be something with profiles, cookies, or external sources.
    Did you simply upload them here by dropping on the post interface?
    Let me quote your post...
    Yeah, the reply doesn't even include the (BBCode style) IMG tag.
    ... Funny! It shows it afterwards. Like it is a post-level attachment or something.
    On my end, editing this post, after BLG there are two line breaks, and then the /Quote.

    This will be because I copied the image and then pasted a new version to see if it could appear and deleted the old version, still the same shot though :)

    Sorry, I wasn't clear.

    It shows like this in my quote:
    upload_2024-2-21_19-43-7.png

    And this is how both of your posts appear:
    upload_2024-2-21_19-43-49.png

    I guess we shouldn't discuss it here, except it's useful for Jamie to spot this discussion.
    You could open another thread and tag those who have complained here, then let DTG investigate.
    Just a hunch, but there might be a TSW screenshot system that requires you to log in or something.

    This happened last week as well, but I will open a technical thread if it happens again next week :)

    It looks like that for me sometimes but other times it is displaying fine ;)
