Hey Larry,
I'm just putting the engine house there as a way of keeping vandals from messing with the locomotive or to keep the locomotive from the elements or just to have a place to keep it out of the way. If I didn't put a spot for the engine house, I guess that I can just keep the engine stored on the end of the drill track.
Besides, at least the railroad would have office space. It doesn't have to go there.
