What he means is that you should make your route use less assets. Many of the routes you listed are hard to find or unavailable right now, and many of them, freeware and payware, feature the EXACT same assets, simply repackaged or renamed. Nobody, especially me wants to spend hours looking for all these assets, and then spend even more time downloading them. So if you wouldn't mind, get rid of about 75% of the routes you just listed, and your route will likely be more popular. Stick to more payware assets from Dovetail, but remember that they repackage most of their assets in their routes. I recommend you only using Pacific Surfliner and RCAP V2 to start, that's plenty of assets if you ask me, plus it's all you need if you're modeling that part of California, maybe the Northeast Corridor DLC as well.

Good luck!

Again, I would love to beta the route, but I (and I suspect many others like me) am missing a lot of the older assets that are required to run the route.

Hoping someone here could run my route with the assets I used.I still need to add lots more scenery etc to it so I.uploaded it for now for anyone to try it out it goes all the way to Bakersfield.I know it may not be 100% accurate but it's at least.What we can run with the new Amcal Rolling Stock we now have.

Not bad, given the scarcity of the models available for CA.

So... show me Alviso, Niles, Martinez, and Davis :)

I am confused on Nile's area Pappa so where would this be between the stations you mentioned?I looked on Google Maps but then the Tracks veered off that is where I got lost.I am trying to follow this Route on Google I get lost where tracks veer off to other places.

You may want to revisit Martinez and Davis. There are no tall buildings and the over pass is far from the Davis station (as well as being historic... Look it up).

Niles, and Alviso are not a stops, but Fremont is. The reason I ask is because I want know if you captured the feel of those places.

Niles is a district in Fremont.

Please look it up. It has a very rich train history dating back to the transcontinental railroad.
