OK - let's try expanding the field of view. I can go just a little wider next time, which should give enough hints to solve this without any clues.

Not Rushworth. That was a junction station, and my recollection was that the level crossing was at the up end. The LC in the drawing is at the down end.

Girgarre, then.
That factory looks suspicously like a milk factory! (unless roderick has pipped me, my memory is very hazy of Rushworth, I thought the lx was on the down side,just wishfill thinking, none the less)..

OK, here's the widest I can go:



Drawing dates from 1958 or so...

Heathcote is a good, and understandable, guess - but not correct.

I am still not checking with anything.
I think that I am down to three, and each fails at least one clue.
One would have been fully interloked; one had the factory siding facing the other way.
One would not have been this elaborate: that intermediate crossover to the turntable was expensive and unjustifiable. It would not have needed a two stall engine shed.
Some of the others which I had considered would have had silos in 1958; others would have had the junction leading from the yeard, not from right of frame.

For this entry: Maffra.

Not Maffra. The dotted line leading in the down direction means the line is not open - maybe even lifted.

Oops, I hadn't seen the dotted line; it was off my screen.
That knocks the other two on my shortlist of three.
Again, without checking: Lancefield. However, my memory is that the platform was on the down side of the track. Also, if it had been correct, our eponymous regular entrant would have nominated it.

Looks like I've been snagged, and live to fight for another day.

Newlyn, heaven forbid, at least the track seems to curve in the right direction. ( a complete guess, having never sighted a diagram )

Rum & Coke time for MOM now, time to get the blue & white scarf and settle down for tonight's extravaganza!
