I'm not a much of a "track planner," Bob, but isn't that the only place to "run around" and get to the other end of a train to then switch facing-point turnouts?
BTW, I'm paying close attention to what you "small switching layout" guys have been talking about, as I recently came to the realization that I will soon have a mechanically sound, painted and weathered Reading GP39-2 with a Tsunami sound decoder in it and it would be a huge waste not to be able to use it!
Of course, I'll have to add some rolling stock from the '60's/'70's to my collection. All of the rolling stock I have represents the twenties through the mid-to-late thirties, and that would look downright ridiculous behind a well-used GP39-2!!
