My pleasure! I was recently blessed with the gift of some excellent kitbashing raw materials and I'd like to pay that forward. It will be some time, as right now I've put kitbashing on the back burner since much of that is packed away or will be shortly.
Question - Are you still planning to run steam on this layout? I don't see any provision for a turntable.
Oh, and btw stock pens can be a simple affair in the middle of nowhere, just a place with a gate and a ramp to load into a car. PLUS, I just saw a neat set of plans in an MR from the late 50's on a stock watering/resting pen. This may be something you might consider for the yard.
Will you also be running milk cars? Little milk platforms & sheds could be found dotted across the countryside next to any flagstop (sometimes they were the flagstop!) A dairy or creamery could be a fun industry.
