First, with the yard, I would remove the spur on the right hand side, and replace that turnout with a right-hand turnout as the entry into the yard. Then the yard ladder will be moved over some nine inches, and make the yard longer. Does that make sense? It would also make the entry into the yard much less "kinked", and make switching moves in the yard much less prone to derailmenents. Then, you mention that you are planning on "hiding" the track against the wall as it passes the yard. If you are planning on doing that, how about moving the yard to the track back against the wall? Have the tracks drop in elevation on leaving the yard, go into a tunnel, pass under the yard, come out of the tunnel, and go back up to the other end of the yard. That way, you'll have even longer space for the yard, and the track in the foreground is lower than the track in the rear, which makes everything easier to see, and makes it easier to reach over. If what I said isn't too clear, let me know, and I'll sketch up what I'm talking about. ---jps
