Turntables were common at division points, rail yards, and rail hubs until railroads started removing them in the 1960's and 70's. I'm no expert on diesel servicing, but I think diesels were stored in roundhouses as well until the 1960's when diesel servicing shops started appearing. A good rule of thumb to use is if a steam locomotive would be on the roster in the year(s) you model, there would be roundhouses around for plenty of time after.
