Ralph, excellent points and an interesting read with the photos. But dang it, I thought I was satisfied with my "on-the-layout" staging and fiddle yards with storage underneath. Now you have me thinking.
Since my freelanced shortline is called the Almeda Terminal And Gulf and is set in Houston, I need to take care of the "Gulf" part by having a branch which goes to Galveston. This could be accomplished well with a track that goes into a hidden area - and I think that would be pretty cool. It would give me an off-layout destination to sort cars for, and receive cars from.
AAARRRGGGHHH!!! I don't even want to think about it!
