[quote user="carl425"] How about taking the bottom right dead end, turning it back and create a staging/fiddle yard beside the grey box?  Then you could feed trains into your main yard and give them somewhere to go. <div style="clear:both;"> </div> [/quote] I have considered that, unfortuneately there is a door to the furnace room immediately to the left of the blue line in that corner, and the door swings toward the left into the room....[:(] I have obtained permission to punch through that wall into the furnace room (the furnace room is accessed by a ventilated door anyway, per code, so a 4" tall x2.5" wide hole next to it wont be a problem.  I will have room for maybe two tracks if I decide to go that route.  I will probably angle them across the furnace room to get the most out of their length, and to keep them away from the furnace.  This piece will likely be stored under Rigby yard when not in use. Also I fixed the Arrival/Departure track issue using a pair of PECO #8 turnouts.  LH #8 is 9" in from the yard switch.  Used a RH on the mainline (Diverging route is mainline).
