My bad Andy, I went to my desktop screen in order to see your plan. I suppose that you could use the short yard track next to the engine house as a drill track. I'm just not following how it would necessarily improve the layout. Could you elaborate?
I see Stein's plan as is to be designed more as a town along a mainline or as an ISL with 2 interchanges. His runaround design is also of a more prototypical length. It has more of a flow to its design.
I probably would put in an industry instead of a yard. The Hannolds who own the Arkansas & Missouri Railroad say that cars sitting in a yard don't make money. It can come in very handy to sort cars.
Otherwise, like I said, it's a flawless design.
