Thank you!

The tracks (and wires) are a project I am (very very slowly) working on and the pylons/beams are done via waypoints.
Its a slightly improved version of this GRF:

This can be used in combination with other tracksets, but for what you see in the screenshot you may have to wait some time :twisted:

... and we have a fast reply from GarryG :bow:

May 2021's theme is Free for All - design what ever you like when steam was king. Early years of Diesels and electrics can also be used but steam be the dominant power.

It is 1939 ... We are reporting from Calgary, Alberta, Canada ... Here Steam is King, and Coal, lots of it, too. The coal comes from the Elk Valley coal fields, in the Kootenay Mountains, British Columbia, some 250 km south west of Calgary. Steam driven trains flourish, due to the abundance of coal, which is transported all across Canada. Residents enjoy free steam generated electricity from their coal fired power station, as well as free coal for heating their abodes. From Calgary, steam trains, laden heavily, haul coal across the Rocky Mountains to Vancouver, some 1,100 km away, where coal is sold and shipped to world markets. A 3,200 ton juggernaut is just leaving Calgary for Vancouver with pusher engine in tow, thus enabling it to cross the Rockies with ease. Although oil was discovered nearby, but who cares about that at a time where Steam is King. An oil refinery can be seen rusting away in the forest due to complete lack of interest. By the way, the King of Britain, George VI, on his tour across Canada, is about to depart Calgary for Vancouver. His steam driven Royal Train is ready and waiting at Calgary Central Station ...

The deadline is always at the end of the last Wednesday of the month at the International Date Line.
This is usually about Thursday 8 AM Atlantic Time.
If you go to a post where I closed submissions, that will show the time in your time zone.

And my entry is ...

Credit must go to Karn, without whose Realistic Train Shunting patch, this screenshot would not have been possible.
wallyweb wrote:1912 - Canadian Northern Railway (CNoR) was blocked by Grand Trunk Railway (GTR) and Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR)from accessing the lucrative railway scene in Montréal so CNoR dug a tunnel under Mount Royal and opened the Tunnel Terminal Station ... A classic case of "sneaking in by the back door".
1917 - CNoR declared bankruptcy and in 1923 was taken over by Canadian National Railway (CNR).
1943 - CNR opened Gare Centrale Station built over CNoR's Terminal Station.

The tunnel and station were electrified from the outset with Box Cab locomotives hauling the trains through the tunnel to the Town of Mount Royal at the North Portal where the Box Cabs were replaced by steam engines for the balance of the journey.

Our scene is 1947 with the Québec train just arrived on the far platform and a steam engine has just picked up a train on the near platform and outbound for Ottawa.
We can see the Box Cab, just to the left of the depot, headed back to pick up the Québec train and take it through the tunnel to Gare Centrale.
To the right of our scene we can see two strings of coaches waiting for engines to put them into service and we can also get a look into the future. Montreal Locomotive Works has put a brand new diesel Alco FP-2 on display. CNR will be adding these to it's roster beginning around 1950.

I think you did something wrong with setting up the poll.
