I think Darrell makes a good point on the radius issue, especially with double track, though in N scale you should be okay, wider radius the better. I have a 30" extension on my layout and the inner track is tight and doesn't look prototypical, fortunetly it's hidden by a hill. The 86' TTX cars will have a hard time tracking properly, the MicroTrain 86' cars are infamous for derailing on tight curves, also running long trains will have a tendancy to pull inward (can't remember the correct term) and also derail. <br /> <br />While I can see (I think I understand your operations idea) you still may want to rethink not having some industrial switching, this can add to the operations nightmare for your dispatcher when issueing track warrants. Though BNSf and others are pulling away from doing small car jobs and prefer the point to point runs. <br /> <br />Do you have a sample or starting design of the actual track?
