I like it both ways. I figured that in the plan with the runaround, the runaround could act as the interchange, the yard for shuffling cars (basically, a 2 track yard), and a runaround. If you take out the bridge, you use the section of mainline on the left side of the layout (by the locomotive & caboose storage) as the drill track. Once the train is arranged, you tack on the caboose, runaround the train, and shove the train to it's destinations.
The reason I was saying shove is that you don't have to add on a drop leaf or temporary track for drill lead. Your track is all contained within the shelves without wasted space. I redesigned it with a runaround here. I just kept the temporary continuous run option to keep all of the options open.
