Would like to build a engine shed or roundhouse but cant find any plans anyone have suggestions where plans or drawings can be gotten.
Try Sidestreet.info for carhouse plans which are still aviable for sale.
Here is the direct link to Sidestreet's plan list.

Korber Models is supposed to be reissuing kits again and one of the kits mentioned was the three stall Roundhouse segment. When assembled properly they are as the bulletproof as Pola kits but like Pola can be frighteningly expensive.2 or 3 segments would make a big Roundhouse.
Have fun with your trains
Westy,
Also take a look at the other fora available. Large Scale Central and My Large Scale both have builders logs on both types. My memory (for what is left of it ) tells me there is a builders log on LSC of a great 2 stall engine house. I will most likely massage it for mine when I get to building it.

Here are other websites that have plans for enginehouses plus other structures for garden railways; brewerplans.com and bigindoortrains.com.
There is also http://gardentexture.com/
I used parts from Colorado Model Structures to make my car storage building. I posted some pix of it on MLS, in the building forum. They also have parts to make a roundhouse. You have to make your own roof/etc. Good guy to deal with.

Will you use switches or a turntable??
Train-Li has both available, turntable, and 3 way and 5 way switches.
These do need protection outdoors.
People in my club built train sheds for storage and use switches for access. One member did get the 5 way.
this seems to be the one i want, thanks for the hint, have tried calling the guy 3 times but nothing but a message to leave phone no. maybe on vacation
