Mark, before you go too far with planning, here's a little something for you. I didn't take time to check where there access to the laundry room is, but since the elevation is higher on one end, I used SCARM's "flip" tool to flip all the track vertically. For some reason it wouldn't flip the RH switches even though it flipped the LH switches just fine, so I had to manually replace those.
Anyway, depending on where the window to the laundry room is, you might not have to do too much planning. And since all the yellow track is at the higher elevation, the yard can be flipped if the windows in where the thin rectangle is.
Just food for thought to get you started.
I got to looking at the obstacles in the laundry room area. I realized the room is offset to the left of the train room. Measuring shows that there is 33 inches from the left side of the window to the corner and 34 inches from the right side of the corner. The room looks more like this.
I redrew the staging yard in from the other side, because the first way, the shelf restricts opening the top loading washer. This way the tracks are over the front loading washer. One note, the track closest to the wall is much too close in reality. I'm still not sure I even want to do this, or just go with the original plan before it was flipped.
Also, I could not figure out how I captured before, so I did a screen shot. The SCARM file is attached, but I have to click show in the bottom right of the post to see it myself.
