Matt: you may have to do a practical test. Do you have the base of the roundhouse together and can it be used by itself?
Put the base down on a large piece of paper or foam or plywood. Draw a line along the center of each stall and extend it out to where they meet. 2 stalls far apart should be enough. You also need to trace the door side of the base. You now have the center point of the turntable and can mark where the ends of the rails need to come.
You can get approximations using one side of the gap where the track will go; if you do all the stalls you get a check on how accurately you assembled the base.
