Well you've sort of helped yourself to an era. You have coaling tower ,roundhouse,etc, so you're doing steam,so figure if you want pre-war,war, postwar,or transition era. 2x 12, although not small, limits you to a smaller yard considering the space turntables and service area take up. Is the yard on an end of layout or in the middle so it has thru traffic, also is it going to be a division point or just an area to drop cars for local freights? Your best bet is to layout yard on floor or if area's already built, on layout board and do several variations to see which looks best before you actually make it permanent.
