Route: WCML South Train: Class 172, Class 378 Something rare or even impossible to see now.....a London Overground Class 172!
Route: Chatham Mainline & Medway Valley Lines Train: Class 59 A DB CLASS 59!! Why does it look like a 66?
40106, the only preserved Class 40 to be solely vacuum braked, idles towards Mells Road with the 12:45 from Radstock Route: GAD North Somerset Railway Loco: AP/RR Class 40
Another one of a kind, sole survivor 2968 double heads with 5428 'Eric Treacy' (minus nameplates) on the 14:10 from Pickering during the NYMR annual steam gala. Route: BLS/SSS NYMR Loco: PLD Mogul/PLD Black 5
A rare winter railtour sees LSL loco 45231 'The Sherwood Forester' thundering up the single line from Felixstowe towards Ipswich with a shortened Riviera Trains Mk1 rake. Fellow LSL loco 46100 'Royal Scot' was tailing the lineup. Route: GEML London - Ipswich Loco: PLD Black 5
The wonderful Class 442 'Wessex Electrics' or Plastic Pigs as they were lovingly referred to, are sadly now a thing of the past, being scraped from 2020-2022. Arguably the best trains in the modern era to operate in the Southern Region, they are now consigned to history. These units really were one of a kind. Seen here passing the Houses of Parliament north of Vauxhall station. Loco: Class 442 (AP) + VP SWR Pack Route: Portsmouth Direct Line: London Waterloo to Portsmouth Harbour Mods: RW Enhancer 2, AP Sky & Weather Pack 2.0, JDDEV RW Enhancer Preset
18 505 resplendent in it's purple livery to match the beautiful Mitropa DR Rheingold train it is hauling. I just love the way the folks on the path are completely oblivious to this wonderful spectacle just yards away from them.
A rare sight for the workers at Rugeley Power Station as the all new Avanti liveried Bi-mode 805 set passes by. Makes a change from the endless Class 390 pendolinos that are usually the norm. Loco:- AP Class 805 Route:- WCML Trent Valley.
This rare consist (en route to Toton T.M.D.) is 60100, 66024, 66103, 66162 "Maritime Intermodal", 66128, 60024, 66005 "Maritime Intermodal One" and 66104 all hauled by 66119. The unique twisted spire of the Church of St Mary and All Saints, Chesterfield also makes for a "Rare / One of a kind" backdrop. Locos:- AP Class 66, JT Class 60 Route:- JT Midland Mainline

Time for the results!! In 3rd place we have Craigie-C with this gorgeous screenshot of a lovely purple German steam locomotive. The lovely lighting looks amazing on this train! In 2nd place is cscarpenter with this awesome "whole train" shot of a trial run! I find it hard to pull off high aerial shots and getting them to look good in this game but you have definitely pulled it off very well here! In 1st place is trainsandgames with this fantastic shot on the fictional North Somerset heritage railway! I really like the composition of this shot and the detail of both the train and surrounding scenery, it's excellent. I also really like the "rare" about this being train is that it's the only surviving Class 40 member to be vacuum braked. You have to do some in depth research and know your stuff to know about that!! Well done! Thank you to the participants of this week I enjoyed all submissions! Looking forward to the contest you get to run trainsandgames !
