Looking for S-Gauge enginehouses and roundhouses.  Can't seem to find any.  Am I missing something?????

I know Port Line Hobbies carried a Roundhouse.  I just checked their Website and couldn't find it, but you could contact them and ask.  WebSite below.

I might also suggest that you look at O-scale narrow gauge enginehouse kits.  The structures are are, on average, smaller than their standard guage counterparts.  I have a twin bay enginehouse on my On30 that with minor modification could easily house my AF Atlantic.  But not anything much larger.

You can also take a look at this offering; it comes in "O" and in "S".

I have figured out what is wrong with my brain!  On the left side nothing works right, and on the right side there is nothing left!

My son had most of the Thomas wooden railway pieces, including the roundhouse and the engine shed.  Might be worth a look, if for no other reason to use as a template...

 Lehigh Valley Models has a number of S Scale structures including a two stall engine house.  These kits are made from wood and card stock with metal /plastic details.  Most are easy to modify to suit your own tastes.  I have build the engine house and it is a fine looking structure.  Their sand house and water tank look good with it.  I'm still working on their coaling tower.

Sounds like others probably have a better solution, but just to throw another into the pile:  Have you looked at Lionel's Trolley Barn that was in some recent catalogs?  It is on the smaller size, and depending on your specific need, may work.  As I recall, it is some kind of Traction company.
