getloose,
I'm loving the layout. I was toying with the measurements. I have an idea on how to get rid of the switch back. If you widen the layout to 18 inches, you have a switching lead of 27.7 inches. That should be enough for an engine and 2 cars on an 18 inch radius curve. I used Atlas Snap Track and 18 inch radius switches, but you get the general idea.
