Dang Stein, reading this I am ready to build the yard and staging right now just to operate it 
I have read everything I could find on operations but seeing it explained like this really sounds exciting. That is what I call operating !
Another article I always liked is Byron Henderson's " A little love for the yard ".

Anyhow, looking at the plan, I would be tempted to shorten the top table 2 ft and put a curve there and finish the loop. I didn't do a loop before because I was short on funds, but right now I could afford it. Oh, and the left table is open on the bottom, so it could come down 2 ft.
On another thread you said you stink at track planning. Well, I think you do pretty good :!:
