Hi,
I've recently begun a new route, which is mainly for iportal use, and general shunting work. I plan for it to range between 20-30KM of track when it's done, but I've run into a little delema. I've put down about 4.5KM of the track so far, but the area beside it is seeming dull/unatractive.
The following are 2 pictures of different area along the line currently laid down. (Sorry for the large pic size, MSpaint for the win)

First area, as you can see is rather dull when it comes to detail beside the track. That is a reoccuring scene throughout the route, as it is mostly situated running through thick forest, or area like you see above. I want to improve on what I've got there now, and make it nicer along the side.

A second shot, near a siding area (as you can see the track rejoining), isn't as much of an issue, but still doesn't look all THAT great in my opinion. (<3 test engine)
Being kind of new to the whole surveyor deal, I'm ok with laying track, and random stuff, but when it comes to the nice details on the sides, thats were I'm no good with
What i'm looking for is input/ideas from people who have been around for a wile, and have more experience in route making.
Thanks alot in advance
