A visit to the O'Dea Collection today and a model tram in Mullingar. I doubt that Mullingar ever had a tram service but in that town stranger things have happened.
As
noted before this tram was used as an advertising float (in parades and what-not), and perhaps just "visiting" Mullingar.....

Mullingar has hipped roofs, this one's gabled.

Given that we can see the northwest entrance here: catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000306483 The "tram" must be about where the silver car on the end of the row is: goo.gl/maps/46JwbHQGmgZL4Yn58 And the ivy covered building must be the one with the gable end.
