As others have suggested allow for future expansion so you don't loose your initial investment (or face tearing it apart) later.If you buy the Grand Valley Track Pack kit (from Atlas) add the following items to your order:1 # 542 Left Hand Snap Switch1 # 543 Right Hand Snap Switch 1 # 534 Package (4) 1/3 18" Radius. 2 9" straight track (I forgot the number).Replace the first curve sections on the front corners of the layout with the Snap Switches plus 1/3 curve section.  This should be an exact replacement for a full size 18" curve section if I remember correctly.  Add the straight sections to the straight leg of the switch.You should now have a a couple of straight connections on front side of the layout for future expansion.  You can easily add just a small "staging yard" on a board to one side and really enhance your operations.Good luck, -John
