If you and hubby favor operating accessories for action and fun, sidings off the main line(s) are an ideal location for them, preferably with a related industrial building at each site, as; Log Dump Car at a Log Loader or a Sawmill, a Milk Car & Platform at a farm going to a Diary, a Coal Dump Car at an Electric Power Generating Station, a Flat Car with automobiles on board at a Car Dealership, etc.
Such placements give a "reason" for your railroad to exist -- moving freight from a source to its logical destination; and for passengers traveling from a rural/suburban depot to a city terminal.
Although storage sidings are helpful, many hobbyists soon "run out" of space for storage sidings as they add more and more cars to their collection. Then wall storage shelves emerge -- or under-platform containers.
