I have been studying the photo you posted and it sontains lots of useful details. Checking it against the plan you posted originally, the train is on the low trestle, so behind we see the main distilllery and twin chimneys of the power house to the right. Then to the left that must be the elevator, just as you have described it.
As you say what this offers is a real variety of stock, each car needing to be spotted in the right place - the buildings can be kit-bashed. Your railroader's insight and experience of having switched the full size version is invaluable to making a model 'feel' right.
I am looking at a variation of the ingle-nook design, what we call over here a tuning fork, so the running line is part of the scheme, with a spur either side.
