Stephan,If I may..One advantage of N Scale is its size and the need to double industries on a siding isn't there like there is in HO.
Of course we are free to do as we please but,even in HO I avoid the old school thought of 2 industries on one siding since it gains nothing..My choice is additional car spots for (say) tank cars or covered hoppers. Another thought would be (say) Douglas International Plants #1 and #2-same company with two plants on the same track with several car spots.That should keep the local crew busy for awhile.
BTW..I'm very passionate about Industrial Switching Layouts (ISL for short) so,I have a tenancy to point out other thoughts that might improve operation..
