this is looking good, regarding the wrong engine shed, make it into a disused one with a short siding. It will come in really handy for storage of either a loco or coach and offer you something else to model
also, if you are modelling a region, turn the fiddle yard into a marshalling yard, holding viable stock within a modelling area is something many modellers miss even if it's only to the front of the yard.
Again, great suggestion, when I start laying boards for the fiddle yard I will look up images/plans for LMS marshalling yards and perhaps decorate with some simple scenery, something quick and cheap but that looks tidy.
On my layout, the fiddle yard has cork, gravel paper ballast, and painted the bare board with burnt umber paint. Simple, but makes it part of the layout.

Great suggestion, I may do something like that for either a shelf or portable layout, something for when I'm not able to go in the loft.
