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".)

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! Jim (In the spirits!)
