Quick update: I've since moved, and the layout depicted in much of this thread has been dismantled. In my new home I am fortunate to have a spare bedroom that (for the time) can be consumed by the train.
The layout construction and feel are largely the same. Instead of the AA in Mt. Pleasant, this layout will be based on my original hometown of Bay City, MI. Bay City has seen the D&M, C&O, CSX and others. Currently, operations in Bay City feature two regional short lines, the Lake State Railway (which operates the former CSX Saginaw Division) and the Genesee & Wyoming owned Huron & Eastern Railroad.
This layout approximates the HESR's Wenona Yard and a small switching district. The revised track plan can be found here:
