This month is really unusual in terms of voting . For the first time we can choose as much as 4 screenshots to our taste . It's really hard to do. Three screenshots are sometimes quite difficult to choose.

Romazoon, I totally agree with you. But your screenshot is quite well done . Don't be so modest

You all here discussing votes I'm wondering when the next entry with heavy edits allowed is going to be

Win a round and a declare a "Go crazy!" theme for the next month

I'd prefer a country-specific theme, like USA or UK, or even France

I congratulate with the victory screenshot Tintinfan . Amazing voting this month. Then one screenshot had more votes, then just two screenshots. And in the end won the one who initially lagged behind in the number of votes .

Waiting for the announcement of the winner and announcing the new theme. I hope that the theme will be no less interesting than the current one, which scored as much as 17 screenshots .

Grat Tintinfan I voted only for your screenshot, it amazed me.

Congratulations on the unexpected victory Tintinfan! Edging out the leaders at the last moment, what a round!

edit: Tintinfan has informed me that this month's theme shall be the opposite of the previous theme...
Branchlines & Rural Stations!

Entries are now open, Let's go what's off the mainline and see what the branchlines offer!


Here are the final results:

Thanks to everyone - it was very close at the end indeed, I didn't expect to win at all! I was ready to take 3rd or 4th place! I think all the screenshots were fantastic, with inspirational new ways to build grand stations and arrange mainlines and all the graphics teased...it was great. I hope the rural theme this month will also be appealing to some great enteries too.

So you were the deciding vote, huh? Thank you!

Thanks everyone that has voted for my entry

2043. In New England, a region of Franice, there still are some local lines that are still not electrified. Thus diesel rolling stock is still here. However, electrification on this little line will start soon enough, because this place is becoming important. In fact, there are camping grounds near the lake coast, and that's what people wanted : a peaceful place right in front of a lake. There's a luxuous casino and hotel right infront, if you like it ! But it seems the farm activity will have to stop here then, because urbanisation can't live with farms.
Near the station, a NERR (New England RailRoad) X 2040, and another NERR locomotive, a CC 5800.

Throwing my hat in the ring with my entry. This rural rail-head, nestled in rolling farmland and located on the main road out of the village sees the occasional aggregates trains to the siding. A DMU on the branch pulls into the passenger platform while the bus scheduled to meet it, pulls into the station also. Traffic breezes by as farmers work in the fields on this lazy late summer afternoon.

Kaiserbrück with an abandoned track in the south:

Very curvy branch line to the coal mine located in high mountains. Every time the train must overcome the height difference of 10 tiles.
Screenshot from real game.

Roderico is a small village located in the Impiriata State, a state of the Cindini region, the town is crossed by the Trans-Cindarian line.

This picture was taken during the moment where local trains are scheduled to let pass the freight trains.



And While i m here, i want to congratulate Tintinfan for the win on last round it was a very tight battle to say the least !
I hope to see you participate this month
and cant wait to see what all of you guys made for this round

A 2-6-4 British Rail loco passes over Tywyn viaduct on the West Wales Line with the 1642 Swansea - Holyhead service. Below, a local ferry passes under the viaduct toward Dolgellau.

Country town of Merriwa located at the end of the branch line from Muswellbrook. Mail Train just departed heading to Sydney.

My entry for this month: Unterriffingen, a rural village on the shores of Lake Riffingen. Just a branch line for tourists and some agricultural trade. No frills.

Sondigton is one of the few towns served by the company that the passenger trains still in operation.

A warm welcome to the new entrants!

Getting a quick one in before entries close...

The small Russian town of Neftegorsk is served by a backwater branchline with severely outdated rolling stock. An old DMU pulls out of the station and meets an M62 with logging train in tow.

Leaving Vinksrade the branch quickly turns to single track past the Yard and comes to a stop at Vinksrade-Uveen Airport, more commonly known as Vinksrade-Ryanairport by the displeased local authority that has denied any further devolopments since. The line then continues down to Uveen and onto the city of Dokoever following the path of the river to small towns along the way. Cascaded Mat'64 units are most commonly used in 3-car formations during the day and 6-car formations during peak hours.

The entries are in! Lots of new participants this month, bringing with them excellent entries. Should be an interesting one
