My diesel engine facility is also a big part of my layout, in my eyes and the eyes of my kids. What I found was that if it is not part of one of the huge classification yards, railroads built the facility any way it would fit into the available land. Since my layout is only 2' X 15' along one wall in my home office (hoping to claim another wall and add another 2'X 15') I made the painful decision to not have a roundhouse and turntable. My engine roster is really starting to grow. I have an old style, 2 stall, long, brick engine house, and an old 3 stall wooden engine house. A few out buildings. A lean-to to provide some cover for ourdoor repairs. Tanks to store fuel and lubricating oil. And many , little detail accessories that really make the scene. Dual tracks for refueling and resanding. A couple old ravaged diesels out back being used for parts. My point is, it may be kinda a freelance thing. And everyone I see in MR and other places, they all look cool. Jim
