Kevin,
I was looking through your photos and was enjoying how narrow everything is and then was reading your comments about wanting it to be more cramped and full feeling. I think the look of mining towns is very fascinating, nothing I would probably ever model, but still fun to look at. I definitely feel that you are headed in the right direction of cramped, narrow with lots of things squeezed in out of necessity.
Do you have room to extend the dock and add a ramp to the back side of the new building? You could make it a freight forwarder that handles misc shipments for non rail served customers. So they could spot empty flats where equipment could be loaded and shipped out to the mine or a single boxcar for mine supplies.
Keep up the great work!
