Agree with Martin and Michael

Looked like a hotel or tower block but 4 storeys would look better!


Which manufacturer made the building please?


Can you split it / kitbash it into two four storey?

 I'm having second thoughts about putting the hospital (pic 1) on the hill on Wittanheim so I thought I'd ask opinions.  It seems to overwhelm the area.  SO I'm thinking of a swanky guesthouse instead (pic 2) with a nice driveway, maybe with some poplars lining it.

Here are both ideas, any opinions would be welcome and please forgive the terrible embellishments!

Hospital



Swanky Guesthouse



Thanks!

Why is the hospital eight storeys?

I work at a private hospital in Oxford & it's four storeys.

Why not reduce the hospital in height, it would reduce the impact somewhat.

Quote from: port perran on <strong>Today</strong> at 08:19:14 PMI agree, that hospital does rather dominate.

The guest house is better but is it to scale?
It does look a bit over sized or is that just the camera exaggerating it?



I think its the camera, its not overscale but it is quite a big building, I probably should have said small hotel :)

Ok, in that case yes the guest house/ hotel does sit better rather than the hospital.

No-one as yet produces Mark 2B,C or D coaches. These are all different to the Mk2A that Farish produce and would need new tooling.

Mk2B - Wrap around end doors and no centre doors on open coaches
Mk2C - Like the B but with different roof vents and toilet windows
Mk2D - air conditioned and externally similar to the E and F but has different underframe equipment.

Quote from: JanW on <strong>Yesterday</strong> at 09:48:08 PMI don't think it is possible to add photos or documents to PMs on the current forum.
Tried it last week with a pdf but there is no option to add anything to a PM as far as I could see.

Jan

There is a type of cheat or work around.

Create a post in an ordinary thread on the forum.
Do not publish the post.
Insert a photo or document as normal into your post.
Cut and paste the code representing the photo from your post into the PM.
Delete your post from the thread.
Send your PM.

Messy but it does work.

PS I take no credit for this method as it was passed onto me by John @Train Waiting
