>Inner-most loop is only accessible one-way, if you want the train on it to leave into the other loops you need to back up the train>The "yard" area in the middle is just a bunch of points leading off, which could provide a bit of Ingelnook style switching but its marred by the above issue for existing inside a one-way loop>Even if you want to do some transporting from point A to point B, to get from that yard to the outermost siding means that your engine is going to be at the buffer end on one of the stopsAs far as branded starter train layouts go I'm more partial to the set you can make with Marklin's C Track sets. You get two points to cross over between both loops at each end of the track, a spacious yard, and some more track variety like curved turnouts and a double-slip.
