Browsing on a lazy afternoon through the Screenshot Contest threads, I made some raw statistics, just for the fun of it... The most chosen themes have been UK and Freestyle with 11 times, followed by Germany with 9 times and Bridge and Morning with 7 times... The route with won the most titles is... Ruhr-Sieg Nord with 18 titles, followed by Great Western Express and Main-Spessart-Bahn with 16 titles and Northern Trans Pennine with 15 titles. As of now, five routes haven't won any title yet: Hauptstrecke Rhein-Ruhr, Hauptstrecke Hamburg Lübeck, Cathcart Circle Line, West Cornwall Local and Sherman Hill... The most winning loco is the Class 43 HST with ten titles, followed by the Class 377/4 with 9 titles and the LIRR M7 and the GP-38 with 8 titles... Finally record winning screenshot contest users are Daniel Bloch and TheNoGamer44 with 6 titles won, followed by Schnauzahpowahz, Digital Draftsman and Matto140 with 5 titles and on third place Szarasowa, Volvolover1972 and Reventloff with four winning screenshots. Admitting that it seems to be easier to win before TSW2, as before there only were about 10 to 15 regular contestants, while the release of TSW2 immediately boosted the number of contestants to about three times as many contestants as in the TSW1 sreenshot contests.
Breaking it down to a percentage, this will be for routes: this is for locos: The unluckiest routes (never won any title) are Hauptstrecke Rhein-Ruhr Hauptstrecke Hamburg Lübeck Cathcart Circle Line West Cornwall Local Sherman Hill Tharandter Rampe The unluckiest locos are BR Class 20 MRCE 185.5 DB BR 425 Baby Bullet Cab Car Amtrak cab car from the old NEC CRR SD40 DB BR 112.1 MRCE BR 182 BR Class 314 F40PH-3C MBTA CTC-3 Cab Car 1938 Tube Stock DB BR 187 BR Class 150 SD70 ACe DB G6 DB BR 612 Railpool BR 185.6
Thanks for this! I think I'll start trying to some of these routes and locos out of being so unlucky.
