Bob,I 'm not a fan of switching puzzle type layouts but,do like interesting switching layouts .I like your overall idea.
Here's what I did on a 1' x 10' board.At scale switching speeds and allowing 10 seconds for the brakeman to do his work it can take me up to 35 -45 minutes to switch the industries. I designed this layout by looking at various rail served industrial areas on Google and Bing maps.
