Couple of ideas spring to mind given your comments about size, place in the smelter complex, and the pictures above.
1) Since you have parallel tracks, not radial tracks from the turntable, I assume that you are aiming for an engine shed, not a full-blown roundhouse?
2) If sticking with the engine shed approach, reduce it to one stall with the workshop on the side. You can still have the second track - just make it a "garden" track - i.e. outside. Maybe an overhead crane or something else to assist with repairs, but this will minimize the size of the building.
Here's my one stall engine shed mock-up from a while back...
3) Is there anyway to just suggest the engine shed? Could the front wall be built up against the backdrop or anywhere else that the entire building doesn't need to be there? Frees up real estate for the smelter.
Hope that helps.
