Stein's last idea sounds great to me (of course 
).
I had a look at your Alaska layout and got immediately a vision how to remodel it.
Move it to the east coast into an old run down brick industry area 1980. You will replace all your buildings with fancy brick buildings build 1930 and older. The old buildings will have low cost extension made of corrugated steal, concrete etc. Windows are closed, modern loading docks have been added into old walls. A world of patches. The front of the layout becomes the edge of quay wall and you are in the harbor business. Most of the tracks will become street/quay running in a fancy mix of old cobble stone and patches of asphalt. Just a possible vision looking at Alaska.
