Will you need to duck under to get at the hidden trackage in back ? If so, I would leave it visible.

Yes, it is indeed a wye next to the yard...I think the sketch didn't scan well and my photoshop clean-up efforts may have hindered more than helped. I've been going through the XtrkCad tutorials this afternoon and will work toward getting this layout as well as the yard section drawn/converted.
As for the 'idden trackige, I plan on leaving a low view block in front. I've got tunnel entrances marked, but really it will disappear from view, that is, curve out of sight behind the mountains on each blob; under a tree canopy, behind a fence, in a cut, etc. I will leave strategic pop-ups (for hands and at best a head) for the back turnouts on each wye.

I may not be a rivet counter, but I sure do like rivets!
