Not much and probably not great. But how about this? Yes I know it's a golf course.

Gave me the motivation.
Kris, no offence, but I think I need to say some things that nobody else seems to want to, otherwise you're never gong to develop your route building skills (and please bear in mind that sometimes it is necessary to be cruel to be kind). Do you wander around the world with your eyes shut or are these screenshots indicative of how you actually see things? Rather than ask us here if this, that and the other is okay, think to yourself, "does this look like the countryside around me?" for that is your first and best point of reference.
Surely you must know by your own observations, that the world around you isn't flat, made in straight lines and monotonous textures. We live in a world which consist of a rich tapestry of colours, shades and textures and you need to grasp that to be able to translate what you see around you, to what you apply to your routes. I think it's great that you're so keen to develop routes, but until you develop an awareness of your surroundings, you're never going to succeed at a level which going to please anyone but yourself. Absorb what I say and don't take it as a personal attack, more so of a positive critique. As I've said already, your enthusiasm is highly commendable but your worst failing is that you don't listen to your peers, most of whom have a great deal of Trainz experience and have tried so hard to bring you on.

Yes I know the world isn't totally flat and in a straight line. So my textures need work? Or what? Obviously I'm doing something wrong and I'm not aware of it. As for the route goes, that's only a single baseboard. That's all I've got. There will be towns, curves, and some hills. But that's probably the biggest issue I've got. Making sure the landscape is realistic.
It would be a waste of my time to try and elucidate. You've been posting here for long enough now that something must have sunk in along the way. Carry on.
