After I built my 30" turntable I didn't have room for a roundhouse in the 2'X5' area I had for locomotive storage. So I built and am currently in the process of finishing a 22"X34" engine house. So that's an option if you don't have the space for a roundhouse like I didn't.
Your setup reminds me of CSX's Russell , Ky. location.
Of course theirs is much larger , but the same idea.

I'm modeling the AT&SF in the late 40's - early 50's. My setup isn't based on any specific prototype (I built the turntable based off commonly used AT&SF girder style turntables) but I'm glad to know the old adage is true: there is a prototype for everything 😁
