Haha, yeah you got that right. There are about 12 leaves on each tree.

Right, where some == as close to "none" as possible while not being "none" per se.

Change the skin of the tree model from 0 to 1 in the model properties in hammer.
It should go from being bare to having some leaves.
Edit: Typo

I think leaves on trees are generally 2D textures with alphamaps that look like leaves. Or something.

uhm...is it possible to make leafs on the trees then? or are those also models?

I guess that because we have no traincars that look like the HL2 ones around here that I am basically tired of maps that have them. However, we definitely have areas that look like screen #3 and somehow it reminds me of home.
Can't say much about screen #2.. It looks like walls made from mattresses. " SRC="images/smiles/icon_lol.gif">
I'd like to see a possible screen of the trees with leaves. Is that possible?

I checked out the screens and "read more" screenshot gallery. The brushwork looks quite nice, but it's a bit hard to tell - the map is so dark!
I'd suggest adding (or increasing) ambient lighting (via light_environment) as well as overall lighting. Outside looks quite dark considering the sun, and most of the inside shots are like 50-75% black/very dark pixels.
From what I can see, though, it looks good so far.

I know about the trees, I just put them in for a quick detail fix for test runs...they'll get better on the way

I am absolutely digging that train track.
In screen 3, those trees seem to be rather... awkward, as though they're not quite connected to any grass. That also look like the same exact tree, just rotated
