I am thinking of your freight pattern from the mines on down. I think if you position your mine (One big mine may be easier than two small hard to get to mines?) in such a way that your traffic will go from one end to the other of the layout using Masonjar's ideas as scenery. You can have a interchange track somewhere with the "summit" between it and your town. This will provide you with more traffic variety such as reefers (your townsfolk gotta eat) and other cars for the needs of your region. I too run DC on my HO equiptment. I am beginning to consider converting some to DCC and using a DCC power system such as the digitrax from the beginning because the wiring and associated problems probably will become a problem in the future. Good Luck!
