Reach to any track should be within 3ft as drawn. I think it can be managed with a stool and/or pop up for a hand or small body in the corner.
I appreciate the concerns about the timesaver location. We are familiar with the coupling peculiarities. We've played timesaver on the floor. I was not thinking through all the details and was focused on incorporating it in the layout. That's why I'm here, to get advice and help thinking through this! The reverse loop could cause consternation when playing the timesaver as drawn. We may need to reconsider that and see if we can get it in an open area on here. I have also contemplated having a detached timesaver in another room.
I'm not a fan of "permanent" layouts using FastTrack at all, because of the look and the noise... but it is convenient, I have a lot of it and it is the quickest way to get a layout up for my train loving boys. At this point I'm up for anything to get the trains off the floor. I'd personally go all in with Gargraves and Ross but the time to build would be exponentially increased.
