Hat tip to Duncan Young for this:
This was lifted with permission of the administrator from the Disused Stations site. It’s a rail-served flour mill in Ireland (5’ 3” gauge). It oozes modelling potential-short wheelbase wagons, delicious pointwork and a good starter for a micro layout with simple electrics?
Some nice simple buildings to scratchbuild by the look of it. All a bit grey and (I suspect) 1950s industrial. Just my sort of thing. Thanks for the find!

That really is quite something!
P4 standards on 21mm gauge, or maybe 3mm on 15.75? It would be really nice to model the fag paper clearance between the rails and cutting sides as well as the "ballast" up to rail level in places. Is anything available in Irish Broad gauge?
Ballisodare flour mill, which operated until the 1970s. Until the 1950s, much of its traffic was hauled by the Sligo, Leitrim and Northern Counties Railway. Google SLNCR Phil - it’s a railway I think would appeal to you ….think a broad gauge version of the IOMR….
