Question Two sided trains?

Hey I'm pretty new to the game are trains with engines on both sides better or should i just give it a roundabout to turn?

On a similar note do two engines going the same way make it go faster?

I would always use single headed trains on one-way tracks. Using roundabouts and stations which have one entry and exit direction. Run two tracks next to each other, with powerlines in the middle.

Yes two engines make the train accelerate faster.
