Efficient? Yes. The Storage window shows the quantity of each item currently in Storage. This number has a black background if it consumes Storage or a green background if not. Items purchased with gems also have green backgrounds, so this feature actually gives you more information than the old Construction Yard did. The drawback to this feature is that single items do not show a quantity, so if you don't remember which unique wagons or locos you bought with gems, it's impossible to tell.

Efficient while assembling a train? No. On the Official TrainStation Forum, many users have requested such a modification to the new Construction Yard. Feel free to add your voice to theirs. We'll just have to wait and see how Pixel respond to the requests.
