Hi Rob --
No offense whatsoever intended, but my impression from having seen quite a few layout posts by you is that the main underlying goal for your layouts is maybe not so much prototypical freight car switching as it is to display and run your British locomotives.
If so, maybe a small urban engine terminal would be a better idea than a switching puzzle?
Like e.g. this Hugh Flynn plan for a 5 foot long small engine facility?

More small engine facilities and lots of other small British plans (mostly from Hugh Flynn and Shortliner Jack) further on in the same thread on the old Rmweb forum

Stein
