That is a great switching layout. The much longer run around with the crossing looks great and will open lots of opportunities for switching but it might be the prototype would have saved the investment for the crossover. The crossover is convenient but not necessary. I did spend myself a similar double crossover in the center of my layout. Very convenient but I seriously doubt how prototypical my track layout is at that point.
