Just need to be creative.

Search for “N scale railroad freight set” or “N scale ore hopper” (etc etc) on Ebay or google it.
 
Research real mining railroads for the type of loco and wagons for your chosen era.

Hearing about what others have to say regarding manufacturers, types of cars & locomotives, laying track, etc could be helpful too.

That does not mean you have to stay with that type of track when you make your full layout. You can, of course, but it isn’t necessary since any track in the scale you use will work. I would suggest checking out some of the many YouTube videos on starting a new layout and choosing track. Pretty much everyone has their own opinions and favorites. For my N scale layout, I combined Atlas flex-track with Peco turnouts. I haven’t decided on what to use on my next layout.
