Hmm. I don't think we can pull off a 15 footer, quite. Quick question: How

One way of getting a switching yard with fairly close parallel tracks is in
one of the layout ideas I had... The major complication is that the yard is
90 degrees to the mainline, which pretty much means it has to go on a
corner. Lower left of:

Eats up a lot of switches, though. :/
