That's an awful big turntable for a layout with O54 curves. What is the logic for selecting that size?

It’s what was asked for. I think there’s a long steamer involved as well as the 5-stall Millhouse River Studios Roundhouse. He’d accept a smaller turntable if need be, so my goal was getting it to fit if I could. I’m not well versed enough in roundhouses, his equipment, etc., to argue about the size. Heck, I’m still trying to wrap my head around what he’s going to have to go through to get cars to/from the yard and engines coupled to consists after they pull out from the coaling tower. Seems to me there’s going to be a lot of maneuvering through the Wye.
