Is it at a railway museum? I see a platform in the background. Or maybe anywhere in Europe.
 
There was a quick glimpse of a better kept version of a Gilman universal machine on youtube.
American Precision Museum Tour Pt. 2
I enjoyed the whole tour, but the universal machine is at 18:30.

Here is a link to lathes.co.uk that has the same machine.

I struggled with one of the import combination machines for a while, and had to move on to something else. These look to be on a whole different level, though.
 
Definitely on the other side of the pond. You can tell by the license plate format on the cars.....could also be New Zealand or round about those parts I guess.....
