The hole wouldn't affect how I would design the shed, because I would never depend on the slab, and rarely depend on tension ties.

What are your concerns regarding design? I look at this as a building with a pit. Not an uncommon thing. The pit walls and foundation will be large to accomodate the locomotive, but the building will not be excessively wide or tall so the base reactions will be reasonable.
Post your concerns and I'm sure you'll get more focused help.
