I like it overall- 3-4 trains on the mains and switching. Looks like a good variety to keep interest.

I would shift the top set of crossovers to the right and extend the yard lead by moving that switch to the left. This will give you more room to work the yard without fouling the main line.
The short spur on the left could be put on the other end of the curve so you don't have to shove a car in (assuming CCW running). |
Shift the short spur on the right to come off track one in the yard. You could curve the spur into the corner and build a coaling facility for steam engines.
Access to the middle? Are you adding pop-up doors or will you have access all around.
Don't know what your scenery plans are but on the upper level you could do a few industrial spurs inside the right reversing loop. The PRR and WM (two of my faves too!), ran a lot of freight and coal. One can never have enough switching IMHO.

I don't run DCS but go get Barry's book on DCS and read it before you start.

Keep us posted on the build.
