Just one remark about the overall plan.
The tracks are more or less divided into the "yard" in the front and the "industry" in the back. In between is a gap about 17cm wide. I do not recommend that design. It is very hard to fill the gap with "some scenery" that makes sense and does not block the access of the 0-5-0 to the tracks. I had ones a line of beautiful old industries in that gap. It looked great but switching was a nightmare. It is now filled with some rural unused area and more than enough team tracks. Not very clever or beautiful but switching is no problem.
It would be more wise to feed the background industry directly from the "yard" and spend some extra centimeters to get more optical depth. A road in the very foreground would be nice too. The other option is to build it with a depth of 50cm only if you are short on space.
