Bob, after looking at your plan and your explanation, I'm feeling a lot like flanger above. So, I used SCARM and Atlas track (a few pieces of O81 and a few pieces of O72 overlaid) to "create" a very poor replica of a custom curve switch, and then I imported two Ross curved switches into the same work table. My work seems to show that the length of the switch will have to be much longer than expected to achieve track (and train) separation when the two switch radii are nearer to each other in size. Further, I can see how a custom curve might be helpful for the siding at the lower end, but I really don't see all that much benefit for the siding at the upper end.
So, I too will be waiting to see just how you do this and how much the benefits are. Please note that you can use SCARM for free up to 50 pieces of track. I would really like to see a before and after plan for that lower left corner to truly understand your goal.

AND, your new post just before mine now has me really confused. On your plan, the station is outside the trackwork, but in your picture, it seems to be inside the trackwork. Does this mean switch locations have also changed from the "plan?"
