Off the top of my head, I would start by just flipping the entire layout. With 4 feet of extra width, I would bring over the yard loop 4 feet, expanding the yard, and also increasing the squeeze-point distance between the loops. Maybe also stretch the bottom loop 3 feet. I might be able to decrease the grades if I stretch each loop some.
The O72/O81 layout seems to have "everything", with the latest addition being the downgrade connection for the out-and-back and optional bridge to reverse both ways. I would probably look to see if I can extend the downgrade connection so as to reduce the grade to closer to 2.5%. Other ideas might occur.
RC, is this something you would really like to see? That is, would you really build an extended version?
Thanks! -Ken

Ken, I would love to see what it looks like. I have the space so I am not opposed to using it.

thanks Ken.

RC.
