Hi Mark, welcome to the forum.
After seeing your layout diagram I presume there is a door at bottom left. The room is the same size as I used in the past. First thing to think about is that door and how it opens; most doors open to mask the room interior as they open, in other words, the door hinges are near the middle of your left hand wall. I would suggest that the door is rehung so that the hinges are at the bottom left corner, then the door opens back against the bottom wall.
Once this has been done, a lifting section can be constructed to allow the door to open/close. It gives you much more space for your layout. As it stands the angle at the top corner will not allow a double track curve, try it with set-track number 2 curves as the inside track and you will see what I mean.
If you need help with the design of the lifting section, just ask!
Wishing you the best of luck with your plans.
