We just moved our small  layout from the Kids bedroom to the far wall of our Dining Room for the Christmas season.   We have the entire length of the back wall to use.   We have some extra table tops from Ikea and I positioned them in the left and right corners connected in the middle.  The kids and I designed the layout using our existing Fastrack to make the most of the table tops in the dining room.   I then re-created the layout in SCARM (attached).  While working on adding buildings, scenery, etc, the kids have grown tired of the large loop design.  Was hoping someone with more expertise in SCARM could help adding some switching action, reversing, whatever.... to the existing design?   Was thinking 4 switches to the long straightaways...and/or some kind of inner loop on the right??   The current layout is pretty much as big as it can get given we laid it out to maximize table space already.  It connects together and works (even though SCARM shows a gap).   Would like to use Command Switches if possible. Thanks in advance.

Andrew and the kids,

here's my offering. New pieces needed in yellow. You can fill the larger gaps by making custom straights from the 10's and 4.5's that were removed. You'll still need a few small pieces. See the appendix in the FasTrack Module Specs. The 1/4 turn is included with the switch. You could park a second train in the front by isolating and switching power with a SPST toggle switch
