Hi Loren --
Still curious about the staging. You have two tracks. But why do you have a turnout and a tail end on the right of the staging ?
The way you draw your staging makes me wonder if perhaps you might be thinking about staging more as "the station at the end of the line, where the train will turn back", rather than "somewhere to hide (usually) trains that will be arriving later in your operating session or have departed earlier in the session".
If you go with single ended hidden staging, restaging (setting up trains ready to appear in the next operating session) could be done in any number of ways between sessions. Wouldn't need to be done by running the engine around the train while the train is in staging
Smile,
Stein
