Even if you take away the interchange and use the yard to store the interchanged cars, then you could even make the shelf that the yard sits on narrower. I actually liked your original yard plan, but all of your drawings are food for thought, whether for your own layout or to inspire someone else. I was looking at the pictures in the beginning of the thread. Man, your eye for structures is amazing. I really can't wait to see what you decide on.
Another thought to consider is to make the yard handle a two shift operation so that an AM and a PM switch job are handled (two different operating sessions). That way, if you run out of time during an operating session, a second crew takes over.
