The Best Laid Plans...

...don't always work out so well.  I had intended the area shown here to contain the locomotive servicing facilities, but the brewery complex is a better fit.  So the next project is beer!
 

A look from the other direction, and overall from above.  You can see the fascia board has been temporarily removed, and the foam base is cut and set in place.  The terrain here is primarily flat to accommodate the track and the brewery complex, but you will see it gain some more character as work progresses.  The major buildings are obviously temporarily taped together as I play with their layout, and that of the track sidings that will serve them.
 
The yellow brick building is the "new" brewhouse, behind it are the 3 buildings of the "old" brewhouse, now used for offices and warehousing.  The largest red brick building, to the left, is the bottling plant, and the white structure is the icehouse.  Some of the buildings will be connected with enclosed overhead walkways and piping.

Below, a rough test fit for the 7-stall roundhouse floor and turntable, which has swapped places with the brewery.
