It looks like a railways workshop,because the N.Z. Woburn Huttshops (NZRH) look to be built just the same.
Nice pictures. Thanks for sharing.

Photos like these amaze me. And these are nothing compared to some of the massive factories in the US, UK, even Germany etc during the war where full scale war production was at a premium. All the battlefield photos of these machines in action are one thing but it is easy to surpass what sort of efforts went into getting all this equipment to the the front. I love the YouTube videos of 'how things are made' for this very reason. The energy and engineering behind a war are way above the effort at the pointy end in reality. The sacrifice and suffering at the front are unfortunately the saddest and most tragic part.
