Rob: there are lots of fiddle yard variations. Basic is one track and enough flat space to hold your cars. This moves up to a yard with switches and sidings. Then "cassettes" which can be lined up with the track and can be rotated or shuffled to send the train back. Sector plates -- multiple tracks on a sliding, pivoted board. Transfer tables -- board that slides back and forth.
The 2mm scale guys ("No, it's not N gauge!") at GBTS had a sectorplate with a turntable on it.
Big decision #1: are you allowed to lift the cars or do they stay on the rails at all times?
