Some comments based on operating my layout over the last 4 years. One main line or two is your personal preference. If you end up with one make sure you have two places trains can meet and pass each other. The final plan is a one way railroad, based on clockwise operation. I know I would want the ability to leave the yard in either direction, if you do not, that is fine. I think there needs to be a third track the length of the right hand wall. It would function as a yard lead and a staging track for inbound/outbound trains from the yard and not interfere with trains running on the two loops. I have a long yard staging lead and use it all the time. Actually I have two, one for the North half of the yard and one for the South half, which is similar to the two halves of your freight and engine service area.
