LOL - I like the GERN and Sorum's sand :-)
Your version looks better scenically. But it you take the double ended siding further to the right and to the left, you will need an add-on switching lead to use the double ended siding.
The reason for why I left the runaround so short and left a foot on the main to the left of the turnout to the double ended siding and about 30" on the main to the right of the turnout to the double ended siding was to allow an engine to fit between the left end of the siding and the left end of the board, and for an engine and two cars to fit between the right end of the siding and the right end of the board.
