Bourbon Whiskey Distillery

[FCIN]

Ken (and others);

Here are some Walthers structure kits that I feel could be used for modeling the Buffalo Springs Distillery and Stamping Ground

1: 933-2807 - Golden Valley Depot

Perfect for a station at Stamping Ground - even resembles F&C stations.

2: 933-2844 - Drumlin Forest Lumber

Could be located along or near the Stamping Ground siding/team track to justify inbound shipments of lumber and/or building products. There is in fact such a lumber dealer now located at the site of the Stamping Ground station, siding and team track, although it didn't exist in 1969.

3: 933-3009 - Water Street Freight Terminal

The freight house portion would be a good representation of the case house and the office portion could be used to model a portion of the main distillery building

4: 933-3024 - Milwaukee Beer & Ale Brewery

Man! This structure would be the perfect building for the main distillery. The model appears to be of a stone type construction, but even if it's of brick construction - it still has the look of a distillery. Lots of similarities between that building and the "typical" distillery building. Some kit-bashing here and there - possibly reducing the height of the structure - and you'd have a great distillery building.

5: As for the bonded warehouse - I'd just find a good photo of a typical corrugated metal warehouse and use plastic corrugated siding to build up that structure.

6: The grain elevator would have to be scratch built too, but other than trying to duplicate the look and color of the block used in its construction, would not be difficult.

Depending on the available space - in all likelihood, most of the buildings would be low-relief structures - so the Milwaukee Beer & Ale building could be made into a much longer structure, if desired. You'd only need to model a portion of the warehouse too.
