Not sure if this should be in speculation...
Given a decent budget and a decent size plot of land what layout would be best for a new loco shed on a heritage line?
For easy access without lots of shuffling I would think a roundhouse or a traverser would be best - is one easier/cheaper than the other? Cheaper obviously meaning less very expensive!
I would like it to be fully accessible for the public (a major reason to do new build). Would it be allowed to have movable railings that meant the public could wander about between the locos from the opposite end to the turntable/traverser but blocked off if work being done (maybe with an off limits section where heavy work was being done)?
