Gary;
I put a schematic diagram of a "model railroad size" distillery on the "Industries Along The Rails" forum that might inspire you a little. It's under the heading "Bourbon Whiskey Distillery". Could be an end of the line type industry as some of the real ones were or an "along the line" industry as this one was. Not shown on the diagram, is the runaround track that was located near the distillery. It would be to the left in the diagram.
I'm considering modeling something like this myself - having worked these places in 1:1 scale and the variety of equipment and spotting locations for cars is very interesting. There are (much) larger operations that I can sketch out or possibly even do with some sort of CAD program, although I'm much better at sitting down with the drafting equipment and drawing things out.
Anyway, take a look and see what you think. It hasn't seemed to inspire anyone yet other than discussions about the product being produced
