Another clever plan by Michael Denny gives you a lot of switching to be done in a very small area.

Talk about a lot of action in a shelf-sized area! And my favorite subject, too!!! I wonder if a “Y” could be substituted at the upper-most left switch [how else to describe it?] allowing at least the impression of a second entrance to the main distillery building? Now all I need are the box cars that say “Jack” or “Jim” or “Stolly”! LOL! This could work well with the new “Trackmobile” micro-switcher!

And I forgot to mention that the 3 upper right spurs and the upper left spur onto the traverser would probably work quite well as a 3-2-2 Inglenook if one was so inclined.

It has taken quite a while to come up with an alternative to the ‘Public Washrooms?’, but I think perhaps a cooperage with an open side to see the workings might be a reasonable substitute. It would also give a few more possibilities for operations (lumber and metal bands in; finished casks to distillery; sawdust and scraps out, etc.). With only half the building, one would not need to portray all of the workings, yet with lots of room for details if one wanted to.
And so I do not leave someone out, the distillery could also be any of number of wonderful “Glens”.
(Above I did mean “3-way switch” not “Y”.)

Then we could go “Continental” with: Jägermeister©!
There could be a small fuel facility (single mounted tank or road access for small tank truck) on the lower left curved spur for our Unimog© or Trackmobile© shunter!
