The Interchange switch lead is 26 inches now and you can use the grade crossing as a marker for where the trackage begins and ends.

I envision the weekly car loadings as:

Naturally, you don't have to take these suggestions. These are just tweaks that I made to my track plan.

By putting in buildings along the streets, you can break up the roundy roundness of the track plan by using the buildings as view blocks.

You could also store the engine and caboose before the second switch by the lower grade crossing or past the first grade crossing by the parking lot/truck loading area for the manufacturing company. I would suggest the first choice so that it's out of sight for vandalism.
