You tube is definitely NOT where I would start looking for something like this.
Model Railroader magazine and Model Railroad Hobbyist have both published numerous plans for switching layouts. If you can fit a 2x8 piece of extruded foam insulation board in your space, there are probably about a million plans out there for that. It wouldn't be too hard to cut it down to 7 feet, though.
The only thing you have to worry about is making sure your switch leads at the edges are long enough for a loco and at least one car.
