That August '96 article is quite nice. There is a second part to it (either July or September - I can't remember which) that explains stem engine servicing overall, so you can get a feel for the entire "shop" - inlcuding water tower, sanding, coaling, ash pit, etc. Worth picking up as a back issue. It might also be contained in Kalmbach's new book about steamers, but I do not know for sure. Another Kalmbach book - trackside structures you can build has two nice plans - one for a roundhouse, and one for a single stall engine house, complete with detailed plans and elevations, and an explanation of the interiors too.
