Well, how about a [new/reconstruction] roundhouse ...
The WW&F has plans of reconstructing the original WW&F 3-stall Wiscasset roundhouse at its Sheepscot ME campus. The roundhouse will (naturally) be adjacent to the turntable WW&F installed a few years ago.
(original roundhouse photo from this earlier thread:[ngdiscussion.net] )
The roundhouse will house steam locos #9, #10, and [under construction] #11.
