Where Track I is now, lay dual guage track from the end of the RH turnout to a cassette staging.  Build an Idler car with an offset coupler to connect to standard guage cars.  Use a narrow guage locomotive to retrieve standard guage cars from the cassette staging.  Your transload will now be from the new Dual guage I track to track 3, plus you now have fiddle staging.</p> <p>Edit:  So after reviewing your other post I noticed a door camera left of your photo in this post.  If this is main access a fiddle staging cassette may not be the best idea for this situation.  If it is a infrequently used door or if it can remain open while the layout is in operation then a cassette is feasible. </p>
