    Hey! The modeling here looks really good to me, so great job! The details on the train engine are really solid.

    As far as critique goes:

    - The sky seems really low res. Find a higher resolution for this. Check out the clouds in the upper right corner for the most problematic area.

    - The lighting feels flat and pretty generic. My only advice would be to really think about where the light is coming from (hue and brightness) and what you're communicating. AKA, where are we supposed to be looking in this composition, and where is the drama?

    - I would look for a more varied texture for what's under the tracks. It's very samey and repeats too much.

    That's all I can think of right now. Great job overall, just work on the compositional aspects and lighting and this will be a really nice work. :-)

    Check this book out -- this has helped me a lot and should be required reading for anyone doing any sort of digital art.
