Silver Jubilee at Solaris

Description
In June 1977 the UK celebrated the queen's silver jubilee with many festive events held across the whole of Great Britain. The town of Solaris was no exception with a special timetable introduced for this special occasion. The big attraction was a handful of unique rail tours that operated in the morning taking passengers to the various goods depots along some routes that would be prohibited for normal passenger trains. A small fleet ofl Rockport trains were brought into Solaris to provide these special services. Elsewhere a very flexible timetable was introduced for the rest of the day, with a variety of DMU's to travel on. No goods trains were allowed to run on the main passenger line between 06:00 - 18:00. Most of the shuttle trains that termimated at Solaris Central were timed to connect with forwarding services. So dive in and enjoy driving many of the different loco's that are on offer.

HI, I made a collection with all the addons I was able to identify: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2930576566

It would be great if someone could double check if I got everything/didn't include anything unnecessary.

You will need all the models listed in the comments. Some come in different liveries you it's safer to subscribe all of them.

Nice job! Really liking the parallel running on some services

Solaris really needed a new schedule. The custom one was made a long time ago before major physics overhauls, that's why it's so tight. Also before many great trains were made. I've tried few rides on your schedule and I love it. Really amazing work. Thank you! I will put the link in the Solaris descriptions so others will find it easier.

Just one thing - the trains you use often come in different paitings and versions. Could you list all the dependencies required for the schedule so we won't miss anything?

The Solaris route is one of the best well made routes for DRS. It offers a wide variety of different challenges with the steep gradients on the branch lines as well as the twisting goods lines. My only gripe was with the default timetable. Too many hold - ups at red signals waiting for other services to clear, no stopping times at certain stations and very little running time between some stopping places. The timetable I have created offers not only generous running times but is based on shift workings; that means when a service reaches its schedule terminus the same train will shortly leave the same platform for the return trip (where possible) in other words it is possible to follow any particular train throughout the entire day.The timetable is loosely based on a theme to celebrate the queen's silver jubilee in 1977 and contains the following units and their schedules in the two posts below.
