I decided that the layout that I came up with wasn't really exciting enough and not very prototypical. Yes, the layout is freelanced (that is, not based on a real-life place or railroad), but running the train around the table for a little while now I realized I didn't really have a lot of places to put rail cars - and by that, I mean only one spot. So, I made a second!
With the help of yet another Peco curved turn-out (I think these things are great, by the way) I was able to insert another switch track into the cross-over that leads from the main line to the mine spur to create a second, parallel mine spur. Breaking into an existing track line wasn't as hard as I thought, however I was very glad that I hadn't glued the track down like I was planning... I may or may not yet do that.
You can also see that I've started building the round house (i.e. putting the track in place for it), and continuing to plaster so that I eventually become happy with the ground elevations. As you can see, the new spur turned out pretty good.
