you can get a really large radius in a corner if you start it from near the back wall. I worked out that in a 20" square you could put a 67" radius curve. Of course, that knocks a lot of the corner out of commission and your curve would start halfway down your shelf!
But that's just the extreme example and you could easily fit a 36" radius in.
If you put it near the wall, you can put all the active yard tracks or industries out front where you can get at them.
If you want the through track near the front or the middle, you might be able to negotiate a triangular piece inside the corner.
