Back to your original request, I modified your original plan in SCARM to address your request for a return crossover switch arrangement and improved clearances between the inner and outer loops at the ends of the layout using GG switches. If you want the upper crossover switch arrangement reversed, that could be accomplished by substituting two GG LH 042 for the RHs shown here.
In the revision, there are Fastrack Transition pieces in orange and cut to length Gargraves straight sections in light blue at each end of the switches.
SCARM file is attached.
I like that a lot Steve. He or his parents would definitely break off the little flag on the Fastrack manual switches every time they stood the layout vertically behind the dresser or took it out. While sort of flimsy, the Caboose Industries switches on the Gargraves are at least flat and easily and cheaply replaced. Can also be converted to powered down the road if they get a bigger apartment or a house.
Thanks again. I like it a lot Steve.
John
