Thanks Ken, The above layouts do not have the same appeal as the other layout. I can't picture running three trains at the same time, or the variety of routes. I might go old school free hand laying track starting with the 22.5 crossover and build it out to see what happens. 

Dennis, how big is your space (if you want to run three trains)?

I would start with the two turnouts back-to-back at the top center.   Then work out the connections to the turnouts feeding the crossing.   Then continue working down to connect the crossing to the inner mainline.
