JWB, thanks for your reply, and sorry for my late feedback.
Just to sum it all up: We ordered the roundhouse and some accessories, we ended up with a four stall roundhouse with an attached machine shop. The accessories are all castings of different roundhouse interior details, stationary steam engine and boiler, overhead shaft and pulleys, and different machines like a drill press, a table saw, a wheel grinding lathe with a crane, another lathe and a milling machine. Total order was in excess of $540 including shipping, rather hefty for a roundhouse, but with all the details I think it will be a great eyecatcher on the layout.
As for the company itself, I have nothing but positive comments so far. We had a great dialogue all through the planning process, and he (Tom Andersen) followed up on all our different druthers and requests. All in all a great experience, now we're just waiting in anticipation for the shipment to arrive!
