32nd street switching layout

What's the capacity of the runaround? I'm trying to figure out how to adjust this trackplan for IPD box cars. If I could fit an NW2 plus two box cars (NW2 = 6 inches, IPD box cars = 8 inches, thus a total of 22 inches). Regular 40 foot boxcars are 6.5 inches over the couplers. Would I be able to shorten the runaround so that I could fit 22 inches on each end?

If you look at the grid marks on the bottom they are 1' increments. So the siding is about 2' as are the tail tracks.
