Route: China Clay For Export Train: Class 37. A Class 37 sending the old clay cars for scrap in exchange for new ones during the 70s

... and on 26/02/2021 ROG 37 884 slowly pulls (hence the lack of CLAG) Ex Great Anglia 321442 & 321348 from Parkston Yard, Harwich, destination, Newport, where they will find their final resting place prior to their planned scrapping. Locos:- AP Class 37 / AP Class 321 Route:- GEML London - Ipswich
How ironic that all the contributions so far include the Class 37 which was first built in 1959/60 and is still seen regularly hauling it's younger stablemates to the scrapyard and is also still in wide use 63 years later on many a private & corporate (e.g. DRS, ROG, Colas, Network Rail) network. IMO It just has to take the award for best British designed, long lasting, hard working loco ever produced. "Long Live The Clag Master"

Hello everyone! It's time to announce the winners for this week. Unfortunately, not that many submissions to the contest this week compared to other weeks but that does not mean the screenshots for this week weren't excellent. They were all great and it was still hard to pick the winner! In 3rd place, we have Craigie-C. I like this one a lot because it represents the theme of a scrapyard excellently with the piles of scraps, parts and locomotives lying around in the yard with a classic Class 02. Well done! In 2nd place, we have cscarpenter with this awesome shot of a British Rail Class 50 hauling some scrap wagons. It has great lighting and an awesome amount of trains included in the screenshot! And in 1st place, is I`m a railfan obviously with this very good shot of a British Rail Class 37 pulling old clay wagons to trade with newer ones, leaving the old ones to be scrapped. I really like the angle of the shot, it's awesome! Background objects such as the speed board, weeds growing through the tracks and semaphore signal give this screenshot a great atmosphere to it too. I love it! Thank you to everyone who submitted a screenshot for this week! Well done to the winners, and congratulations to I`m a railfan obviously for the 1st place screenshot. I can't wait to see what theme you choose for next week!
Thanks for the win Blazin! i didn't think mine will win but I just noticed how much detail was in it. Competition: https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/unofficial-screenshot-contest-2023-week-6.64720/
Thanks for the podium place Blazin, also big congrats to I'm a railfan obviously for that winning shot, well done. Looking forward to next week, especially with that theme, should make for some very good eye candy.
