Welcome to the Unofficial Screenshot Competition! The theme for this week is: Spring has Sprung (yes, that one) Feel free to interpret the theme however you wish. 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 10PM GMT on Saturday, April 26th 2025 and will be judged by me - andras.triznya In the event of this week's winner not responding by 10PM GMT on Sunday, April 27th 2025, a new thread will be created using the results of this week's poll.
67006 leads the royal train into Wolverton Works Run around siding as it is about to detach, on the other end 67005 is about to lead into the works shed siding. a nice display of foreground spring flowers (possibly weeds ) is on display.
I hope to get some Spring shots today, it is surprisingly a very underutilised weather type in the game. I think I've seen more Winter scenarios than Spring ones!
British Railways Class EM1 '26038' later known as the British Rail Class 76 under TOPS is seen hauling a 5 coach express service over the Woodhead Line eastwards to Lincoln Central, England in the United Kingdom and Spring has just sprung, so recently in fact the vegetation is yet to flower. Not that you would see much of it in the industrial powerhouse of 1950s Manchester though!

"Spring Has Sprung" At last the winter has subsided and SR U Class 31625 steams out of Weymouth with a Bournemouth bound service on a beautiful clear skied spring morning. Also please note in the foreground the immaculately maintained Leaf "Springs" on the MK1 Guard coach. Rumour has it that they were very well "Sprung".

Thank you everyone for participating! Fun stat. You made it hard for me to just pick the one with most likes - everyone has four. I don't really like to repost, I'll just name my picks: 3 - The boxcab scene by mfeets offers a fine view of the train through the bends, with the rocky mountainside, framed by the sign post. 2 - Blazin's E8 offer is fabulous. You need a beast of a machine to produce it (8K), so jelly a bit. (Just kidding.) 1 - My favourite is paulc's shot with the 67. Although it's summer in game, I clearly buy the blooming flowers. Thanks again, and paulc please take us forward
Hello Blazin, in the absence of paulc, are you up to start a thread? I suppose paulc could still judge, or of course show up and start the thread. Maybe didn't notice or forgot (was here several times since).
