Yeah, it's coming up for that time so if you want a clue as to getting decent railway cards I can recommend these folks. I've used them for the past 3 years or so.
I clicked on the Western Champion in golden ochre and just spotted it stated 'Father's Day' so beware
Note- to save a little order a 4 pack of your chosen pic

In my eyes we let the trains dominate the scenes we are creating (obviously because these are the most important things    ) however reality is that we often let out models down by doing this. Buildings are large, as are many trees. How often do we only get a glimpse of a train in real life rather than seeing the whole thing? Maybe, we could do with accepting that elements of our models will block the view we have of our rather expensive trains.

Height to some buildings can really set a scene, they may look out of place when first plonked, I advocate leave them for a little time, the scene will grow on you especially when the scene around is built up.

Some of commented on the perceived excessive height of the hospital, around ten piles from where I am currently sat is the local hospital, the height is 13 stories and is predominately surrounded by two story houses, oh and it backs onto the railway.

That is reality

I like the hospital, buildings are big and often dominate a location.

How built up is the rest of the layout?

Admin block.

The high-rise building is from Faller too – item nos. 2293 or 202293.

But I am also leaning towards the guesthouse.

Quote from: Gordon on <strong>Today</strong> at 12:18:15 AMI can't see anything at all wrong with your original plan. Thus I would leave the hospital where it is - it does not overpower anything. There must be countless hospitals around the world with buildings eight or more storeys high.

Yes totally agree

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.

There is no set or maximum height for hospitals. Guys hospital tower wing has 34 floors and would scale out at over three feet tall in N gauge scale. Probably best not to consider a version of it if you're worried it will dominate. ?

Buildings can be large in real life and many can dominate their locality both in the area they take up and in their height. Often on model railway layouts buildings are effectively underscale and fail to be large enough to function as their design purpose. Don't be scared to use a mix of building types and sizes. Consider the factors for their purpose and the size requirements to make them function in real life, not forgetting access for the workers/residents/visitors who use the building.
