JGLfan - Your use of the molded plastic stone wall makes me wonder if I should have used it! It looks great. I especially like what you did with the roof. BTW - I've been missing your engine facility thread lately, I have stolen dozens of ideas from your pictures 
Have you done anymore on it??
Ed - gotta get that dog! As I may have mentioned, the distillery is bound for a layout which already has all the track laid and wired. So this is kind of an afterthought to the original plan, which means that there really isn't much room for a full blown distillery like Buffalo Springs. Once it's placed, there will probably only be room left for a small pair of silos. I really want to do a Buffalo Springs, but getting anything else besides silos is probably not going to happen. I like your thoughts about it being the size of a smaller operation receiving corn, etc. and putting some livestock on the property to eat the mash. It will give it a little character.
I do think I will do a Buffalo Springs for my N scale at home. I really like the scene of a distillery, warehouse, grain silos, coal trestle and especially the rolling of the barrels on the rails. Do you think it would be appropriate for 1960 era?
Thanks for all the comments......
