There's nothing wrong w/ running multiple eras. As for having the "wrong" structures for running early era equipment, have a few modern structures w/ the same footprint as a few old structures. Make them so they easy to lift out. Also add some era specific details to the lift outs.
Plan on doing that on my LAJ layout as their are many structures that are gone these days. Most have been replaced by concrete popups. Have way too many freight cars & locos from earlier & later times to pick just one era. Besides variety is the spice of life!
