I like A. Consider making the table 3 long and the bays 4 to allow for a bit
of track before you go into the building (allows swinging doors to clear the
table), rather than a 4 long transfer table with only 3 track long bays.

The GMLTC transfer table was on a much bigger module and was parallel to the
main line so it took up more linear space but had a table with 4 track
segments and 5 track segment bays IIRC. (I should remember since I built the
carshop and part of the table (J1 did the final show version of the table)..
but I forget)
