Reply to "Should I use a Wye or Switch"

That looks like a place where traditional tinplate switches like an O-54 or O-72 are not good choices.  They take up too much width and create abrupt S curves.

 

It does look like a good place for a Ross #4 tinplate switch.  Numbered switches are only curved between the points and the frog and have a straight angle on the departing route from the frog on.  That allows for closer parallel tracks and provides a straight segment between reverse curves.
