Switching Layout Yard
#4
What if you extended the lead to run parallel with the main and add a crossover at the far end? Your arriving train could drop its cars on the main or the yard lead. The switcher could then run around the train and push it into the yard. It would then back up onto the lead to classify the cars leaving the main open for arriving departing trains. No more worries about an escape track.

Another possible option would be to flip the yard so the stub ends would go into the corner and the yard lead would go to the right instead of the left.

Just my two cents...
