February's theme will be: General transportation

A nice universal theme this time

What is "General transportation"?

Transportation in general, so passengers, mail, goods, whatever and using any type of vehicle/ship/plane/train

So, anything which isn't an untouched landscape?

Well better luck next time then.

But an untouched landscape with a plane flying over it would qualify as "General Transportation", right?

Yes, but I don't know what your chances will be in winning the competition then

It may be an extremely beautiful landscape

Congratulations to Quast, nice job! I just didn't understand how you made that XXL ship make that turn.
I love the Fyra jam - that's exactly what should be expected once those ugly V250s will enter full scale service. AnsaldoBreda quality, even Danmark enjoys it.

Of course: thank you to everybody who voted - without votes, "TT-Screenshot of the Month" could not exist. I can't claim being unhappy about the score of my entry either.

congratulations, all are great shots. With this universal theme i might have a try at it.

@Valle:

Already happened. All taken out of service, they lost bottom panels while traveling at high speed. Due to ice forming at the underside of the carriages.
Belgium prohibited use of V250 Fyra with passengers. As there is no good way to travel to Belgium the old loco hauled train comes back in a few weeks.
(In fact a Thalys stranded behind a broken Fyra when they did tests to discover what did the damage.)

Wait, that wasn't still a limited service in a way or another? Bloody hell, that makes the Talent 2 look like a great EMU.

A bit offtopic,

The V250 drove the full service A'dam-Brussels since 7 december. (8 times a day)
There are not yet enough trains for the national Fyra so those continue with Traxx+coaches.
Because the traxx with coaches are not allowed into belgium via HSL (And HSL allowed traxx may not enter belgium, software version differences).
The old Benelux train drove till enough V250 were in service, when service started many train broke down, but no serious problems were encountered. Till snow came and the V250 fell apart.

From 18 February a new benelux train will drive The Hague-Brussels, it is not possible to go to amsterdam because all path are now used by other trains.
this train will drove 2 times a day, from march 8 times a day.
Till then belgium and the netherlands stay allmost unconnected.
To go from the west to belgium you have to get on a hourly local train to antwerp at the border. Now a second intercity has been made to antwerp from Roosendaal (border). These trian make a massive increase in traveltime and can't handle all the travellers.

(The Fyra V250 to belgium, was not much used during it's first weeks, it's to expensive and people don't like the seat reservation. the old (and new) benelux train anyone could just hop on)
