No pictures to show but my old enginehouse/turntable area had stub tracks with old rusted out engines/wheelsets, Disguarded or rarely used MOW equipment.
 
Not N scale, but here's our 'table and 'house on the club's Gulf Coast & Western R.R.... The table's a Fleishman, motorized but manually indexed.

I'm sure the original builder would appreciate hearing that, Daniel. While it has its faults, the Fleicshmann turntable has proven itself reliable. I like that there are no less than 4 approach tracks that are drive-thru. One can take a big articulated steamer that would normally be too long for the turntable and run it straight into a stall, something real roads did as the steam got bigger.
