For HOTrak, which uses a similar plexiglas "facia", the setback of the track closest to the edge is 2 1/2" to the centre of the track. Your penninsula looks to be about 24" wide (?). If we adapt the standards from HOTrak (2 1/2" setback, plus additional 2" for clearance towards the inside X 2 sides), we end up with 9" required for the mainline that loops around the penninsula. Therefore the maximum space left for a doublesided backdrop including industrial trackage into, beside or between buildings is 13".
Chris' backdrop building is certainly less than that (although not doublesided). IIRC, the Art Curren "operational" doublesided backdrop was not much more.
Now you just need some sketches...!
