At least the furthest switch is only 2.5' away from the edge.
Dave,
I don't think reaching the switches will be a problem, but if you need to couple/uncouple cars at the 2 facilities at the "0"-"0" point in the upper lefthand corner, that's going to be almost a 6 foot reach. Uncoupling can be done by using the delaying action of the Kadees, but coupling may be a chore if even one of the couplers isn't centered.
Can you put a Wye (it would replace the piece of disconnected curved track in the plan) in at the lower end of the crossover going to the flatcar loading facility and use the Wye as the feed for the covered hopper facility? that would possibly get the covered hopper facility closer to the edge and within reach.
Then you could make the boxcar facility come straight left. By removing the Wye that connects the boxcar and covered hopper facilities and making the boxcar track straight, it may get things within reach or at least on a straight piece of track.
