hi Svein,
personally i always loved the "terminus to loop" (or staging) concept; with a possibility for lap-running.
The original idea of the SJD was the very same, except the lap-running. If i remember well Andy Sperandeo had one operator running a freight train from staging to San Jacinto in his mind, switching Perris on the way. A second operator was switching the spurs in San Jacinto and Hemet. So the aisle between the last two stations should be wider then the other one.
On Lance Mindheim's side Lance added pages devoted to newbies, you'll find a layout with almost the same concept.

Your idea is fine too, a nice spread between the two operators as well.
Smile
Paul
