To get the look I want, which is a thick forest through which you can catch glimpses of the train with trees far taller than it, I need ...
In time I will get there. ...

Here's a suggestion, Lee, if you please. If I were to dedicate that much real estate to a forest, as you named the concept, I could not resist putting in a dirt road (or two) wending its/their way through the forest, creating even more interest for those peeking into the foliage for further visual adventure.
A place I visit often (and again, as soon as the real Spring arrives around here in the NJ - NY - PA area) is a forest just north of Cortland and Homer, NY, far up on a hilltop, bisected by a dirt road called Brakehill Road. On one of my walking and very slow driving excursions there, I noticed dwellings snuggled deep inside the forest, at the ends of dirt roads, overgrown but clearly in use, that were barely a car's width. Needless to say, that got my attention.
Here are a couple of vignettes I crafted to model those discoveries of mine in the forest on Brakehill Road, each done in my own interpretation.
You may find this more interesting than trying to (expensively?) fill-up a whole tree-scape with just trees. Who knows, "it might be fun to try."
I have another idea for you, perhaps, to consider, also, which I will compose as soon as I get all the photos organized for inspection here.
