Extending the interchange track along the wall would provide room for the 'ole 0-5-0 to do it's work of exchanging incoming and outgoing cars.
Oh, and I so agree with your wish that Lionel produce at least Fastrack #4 switches. I tire of the non-prototypical 18 foot spacing between adjacent tracks when using Fastrack.

Hear Hear! "I tire of the non-prototypical 18 foot spacing between adjacent tracks when using Fastrack." It just looks ridiculous and breaks the illusion of a double-track main. Come-on Lionel, just do it! Some of my recent designs work out a 4.25" center-rail spacing, which looks very good (and operates all my traditional equipment on O36 and O44). If Lionel worked out #4s with 4.5" spacing, that would help bring FasTrack up to big-layout expectations.
Hey Lew, Geysergazer, are you also a fan of Yellowstone? I love being out there, and Grant Teton is magnificent!
