... Take a look at which timbers I have shoved as a guide to what to do. I have only lengthened the turnout timbers without moving any.

However, have you actually tried building such a thing? It's very tricky to get the coincident switches working properly -- such turnouts are confined to yards and sidings on the prototype.
