if you were to go here http://www.walthers.com/exec/page/WNP04/engine_service and then roll over the roundhouse, you see you need need about 32" in radius for the roundhouse, the Turntable is 20" in diameter, howerver part of the Roundhouses radius is also part of the tunetables (10" to be exact and would be exactly the radius of the turntable). so, if you used a walthers turntable and any 10 degree roundhouse, you'd need about 32" in length, for your width, you would need, for 6 stall, about another 32". so you are looking at a 36"x36" area for your setup. Most people would put this on a penensula, or in a corner that is easy to access from behind as well. As for atlas, I'm not sure what your requirements would be, as they use 15 degree's on their turntable and roundhouse. so you'd probably need more room for them. Jay. Note: I used walthers in the above mentioned example, but except for atlas, I believe all the other turntable and roundhouse manufacturers are compatable with walthers at 10 degrees.
