<p>I'm working in HO and would like to add a brewery to a layout plan. The idea is to hide a container for liquid contents, usually soda pop for the kids and other beverages at other times, and make it one of those unexpected props for layout purposes.</p><p>The idea is that guests to my layout will be told to put a cup on a stablized flatcar then escorted near the building where pop, coffee or some beverage will come from a cleverly disguised drain or spout and fill the cup -- timed to fill only the cups and coordinated with the train movement.</p><p>It would become another added touch, like flashing lights, sounds, smoke and tricks with mirrors.<br /> </p><p>The brewery model would operate the rest of the time as prototypically as possible based in part on some information from the rest of the forums and my own research.</p><p>Has anyone done something like this before? Can it work? Anyone had luck with coffee makers?</p><p>Oh and why, might you ask? Well, I know what I like on my layout, but I want other people to enjoy it also. I think it's more fun that way.</p><p>Best, </p><p>Ignatius</p>
