Mark,
Had a little time, so I played around a bit just to see where we are. The outside grade is 4.6% and the inside is 5.8%. When I got to looking at the turntables, I realized there were no storage tracks (stalls), only complete runs into the TTs. So, I added some for you to look at and comment. I also used regular switches instead of the curved just to see what it could look like. If the grades are okay, then I can probably move the bottom switch inside the circle so the leads will hold complete trains. Looking it again, I'm not sure I widened that circle enough. I assume the idea will be to pull a train into the TT, unhook the cars, park the engine and bring another one out to takes the cars back.
