Type in "Railroad Yard Office" on google and see what you find.
you should get some ideas.
E-L man tomYes, this is a "one horse" railroad, doing switching jobs for servicing an industrial corridor. Cars are interchanged with the Chessie System and the Erie Lackawanna. The yard office and general offices for the railroad are based in the fictional town of West Sandusky. The general offices are based in the old West Sandusky depot. To clarify, the switching crew parks their engine and loco on this house track. The "local crew" are also local people who go home at the end of their shifts. There will be a small pool of locomotives and cabooses, but they reside in the neighboring town of Troubridge; there's a small engine house and a caboose track there. This fictional small region is several miles south of Lake Erie between Toledo and Sandusky, Ohio.
Oh my! I like your layout already.. There's something about those one horse railroads I always like..
Thank you for the compliment on my weathering.

chutton01Hmm, in the modern era I think either a repurposed container or an office trailer would be more likely, if not as "railroady" as a reused boxcar. A short (20ft) container could serve as the storage shed for either.
ThIs is what the local short line RR here uses.

A seperate portable building could work as a yard office.
Mike KieranI wholeheartedly agree Larry. I just hope that Tom doesn't think that I'm stalking him (Tom, btw, you're running low on milk and shampoo).
Wow! How did you know that I had almost-sour milk in my fridge? :-)
I haven't posted a picture on this forum in many months because I cannot get the darned thing to work right for me. But, when I get a mock-up done I'll do my best to post a picture of it, for any suggestions for the finished model. And, when the model is done I'll post that too.
As they say on Family Feud - Good answer! Good Answer! LOL
