Weird for Amtrak's Acela to be in Germany but I could also but it as weird because parts of the trains are inside each other.
Prior to the refurbishment of 37/4s, three class 25s were converted to ETH generators (ETHEL) for Mk2 and Mk3 air conditioned stock and used in the Scottish region with steam heating equipped class 37s.

Northern are in the process of converting their Class 319 fleet into Class 769s at Brush in Loughborough so they can operate on non-electrified routes in the Northwest. Class 319369 left Allerton TMD earlier today, headed up the WCML to Lichfield, then to Derby. ROG Class 37800 now drags it on the last leg from Derby to Loughborough Brush where the work can start.
After the Grayrigg rail disaster in 2007, Pendolino 390033 was written off, leaving Virgin short of a train set for its WCML operations. Enter the "Pretendolino", a Class 90 propelled Mark 3 DVT set (WB64). It was pressed into service and refurbished into the same livery as the Pendolinos as a stop gap. Seen here waiting at Crewe.

The UK royal train is definitely unique. Crossing the countryside with a fitting claret 67. I realized eventually that the this guard Mk2 is facing the wrong direction (in the default consist) so I flipped and restarted. Still, it reminds me of long distance (bus) services where having curtains is common. Feels cozy.
I have decided the winners for this week, sorry for being a bit late though. Thank you everyone for the submissions this week! In 3rd place is malakhit with their interesting screenshot of Class 68s pulling a nuclear train. In 2nd place is Pookeyhead with their unique screenshot of the very unique and one of a kind Class 90 in the Pendolino Virgin livery. And in 1st place is Craigie-C with their wonderful screenshot of a Class 37 pulling a Class 319 ready to be turned into a Class 769. Thank you to all the contestants and congratulations to the winners, Craigie-C I am excited to see the theme you choose for Week 22!
YAY! Thanks Blazin, and well done to all for your efforts. Next weeks thread is up and running with the theme of Black & White / Sepia https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/unofficial-screenshot-contest-2022-week-22.55400/ Have fun & Good luck to all.
I don't think GWR will take someone's phone app seriously, don't worry. The trains have much more sophisticated speed logging equipment on board.
