ONe way to make a "Flatland" layout more dramatic is to put some thought and effort into the skyline of your backdrop. Distant hills, mountains, cities, grain elevators, tree lines, etc can do the trick. Andy Sperandeo did a series on modeling Oklahoma back in the early 1980's that included a very helpful peice on painting backdrops to give a sense of distance, and you don't have to be particularly artistic to get a great effect. I've used it and been ecstatic with the results (thanks, Andy!).
