I'm trying to model West Texas in an N scale model railroad layout. I designed the pumpjack and tanks with cad and then had them 3D printed. Panted myself. Does it look ok so far? What should I add? Going for a rundown well pad in this area.

Add a bro dozer.

You know, so it looks authentic.

Serious response.

Operators pretty much have to move SOME earth on the whole site to level and achieve positive drainage. This means your site, up to its intersection with natural (undisturbed) grades should be a different color and texture than the surrounding natural landscape.

Ground should look more like a salt flat without any brush around.

Unfortunately OP needs two views to load into his 3D printer. But that's a solid submission nonetheless.

Needs a little more black around the base of those tanks

Throw in a couple rednecks starting up an unplanned pregnancy in an old ford next to the pump jack.

I've got three more pads I'm doing that will be active wells and those are great pics. This one I'm going for old and inoperable.

My OG experience is in shale plays with many wells per pad. In those plays the well head equipment is almost always parallel to the production equipment. This is because of the nature of moving the rig across the pad. Could be different in West TX. I don't have any experience out there, yet.

What if I cut the horse head off the beam and laid it beside the jack? Is that common?

Yep. My grandpa worked on the railroads for 40 years and have me all his train memorabilia when he passed. I love it.

Make this in miniature. Then put it on a loud mouth female figure that cheats.

He worked in the north. For CP Rail and then he worked in Colorado and eventually Texas. Lots of Sante Fe stuff and lots of UP stuff.

Need a road and worn out turnaround area that the pumper has created over time.

If it's supposed to be broken down/out of service, stick a Weatherford sticker on it

You need a meth-cooking mobile home complex. A bunch of trailers, busted out windows, cars up on blocks with tall grass growing up around them.
