Help with passengers station layout

[rva1945]

I will add a section to my L-shaped H0 layout adding a 280cm x 60cm (112" x 24") with access to and exit from a passengers station.

As it is impossible to turn given the room constraint, the locomotive must move from the front to the rear. Now I will have to turn it 180 degrees using a turntable unless I get one of those (mostly GP's) that could be driven backwards pulling the cars, in this case using the bypass parallel to the main track.

I want it to be a D&RGW passengers service.

Here are attached 3 possible layouts, please tell me if they are sound or not, and I will appreciate any ideas or suggestions.

Since that looks like a wye at the right side of your drawing, you could pull the train in/back it out or back the train in/pull it out without a need to turn the power.  I'm not sure that it's prototypical for your road, but there's plenty of stations that were set up this way.

hi
Not likely to have a turntable lead off a station track like those do in D&RGW territory.
Stations were pass thru most often, but second/Team tracks held the LCL and REA where appropriate (something I'm keen to 'model in' for passenger action.

OTOH, passenger trains backing into stations was kind of a done thing in many larger places so all were turned and ready for exit (stage right?).
FWIW, dave
