You could do a slaughterhouse / meat packing plant. It would require stock cars, gons or boxes for the hides, tanks / covered hoppers for the tallow, reefers for the processed meat, and more box cars for ground bone meal and other odds and ends. Model Railroader did a series on them last year, I think. It would definitely be a different type of ISL! The tallow cars and hide cars would not be switched every day, but the stock cars and reefers would be. I am planning on a small slaughterhouse / meat packing plant on my layout -- 3-4 stock cars in, a couple of reefers out. It would be a visually interesting scene with the different types of buildings, tanks, loading docks etc...
