Jack, ahahah! Gravity switching take less place using vertical space available under the layout top!

It could be easily done and would be useful to store a switcher locomotive, etc. Mike's minimal trackage is what's make it realistic and not over crowded. Anyway, I've got plenty of PECO curved turnout from my Harlem Station project (funny how Harlem Station can be built on the same template!).
