A quick update on my thinking...
The locos I have mean we can say this is a 1960s diorama.
I am creating a small batch concrete plant where aggregate is delivered by rail, tipped into a hopper and (via a weigh station) is combined with cement (from a silo) and water (from a water tank). The concrete is then transferred to a moulding building (a converted scenecraft 7mm concrete lineside hut) and thence to a kiln (brick sided building - an upscaled (extended sides and overlaid 7mm brick plasticard onto a hornby 4mm building) where blocks are created. These blocks, once fired, are placed onto hudson platform wagons for onward transport to site.
In fact I shall use three of the scenecraft 7mm buildings, each one modified to suit its location/uses.
I think that this is believable... as to uses for the blocks.....ummmmm.....open to suggestions...
I now have all the parts necessary to complete the layout and have also purchased a better gaugemaster DC controller rather than depend on the terrible hornby controller I've used up to now.
I take it you have heard of the Thakeham Tiles railway?
