Work on things which are directly related to what you already have going...and which is most important for track planning.
Since you are building a pair of steam locomotives, consider building you steam locomotive servicing facilities. Forget about the generic building...it is generic...and hence can go anywhere.
The TT and roundhouse are two of the most important buildings to install due to their space requirement and installation. I would suggest that you build the roundhouse and turntable on a 2" thick separate module which can be installed on your layout...perhaps include the coal tower & such on the module. This will make their installation easier...and give you a small something to detail...and will go well with your locomotives once they are finished.
Always try to keep a focus to your modeling efforts if you want to go somewhere. For instance, I may have a number of projects currently on my work bench, but working on any one of them brings my roster of need rolling stock closer to completion.

My primary goal is a large Oahu Railway layout in On3
My secondary interests are modeling the Denver, South Park, & Pacific in On3 and NKP in HO
