Thanks Mike, I still need to get those vehicles back on order. I haven't a clue where these came from, but they're what i got right now.

Been plugging along on my hospital. I took that Walther's "Downtown Hotel" kit, made a few changes so that there was a walk-in entrance in the front and an emergency entrance in the rear. The body was brown, I changed it to aged brick, and will leave off most of the window awnings and the fire escapes that came with the kit. I don't think hospitals have external fire escapes anyway, plus, I don't like the scale of the ladders, like most N scale accessories, they are way out of scale. Handrails measure over 4", distance between them only 16", just about as unrealistic-looking as most of my vehicle collection.
I still have some cleaning up and some detailing, but here's a few shots of where I am right now.

Nicely-done, Don.
The canopy over the Emergency door is a nice touch, too.

Looks like a small town hospital. Good job!

Looks excellent Don.
And inside the hospital nurse Rabiata, cross-breed of fire spitting dragon and drill sergeant, will take special care for the impatient ones ...

Thanks guys, I still have some cleanup and detailing, and now that it has that canopy, it won't fit where I was planning.
Lutz, I was thinking about hiring nurse Ratched from the, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest movie, but then again, that was a different kind of hospital.

Looks good! I think nurse Goodbody from Hee-Haw would be a better choice!

It looks great Don. Perfect location. That is the size of our hospital is you only count the occupied rooms. I think there are over 800 beds but every time I have been there, as a patient and a visitor 75% of the beds are empty.
When my brother had his tonsils out in the eight grade, we all went to visit him. It was a little osteopathic hospital much like the one you now have. When the nurse came in she threw us all out, we had surpassed the 2 visitor limit by 4. It's funny what brings back memories from 65 years ago.
Thanks
Charlie

Thanks guys. Not sure just how many patient rooms you can get in 800 sf, but the needs of a small town like Santa Maria aren't that great. The just hired a new doctor as chief-of-staff, his name is Holiday, was recommended by sheriff Earp. Said something about cleaning up the town, wonder what he meant by that.....

Has Dr. Holiday ordered some of these: https://www.round2corp.com/product/class...0-n-scale/
As super-special ambulances for the real bad boys?

There is a rumor going around that the good doctor one day had something to do with littering the streets, rather than keeping them tidy. I asked Sheriff Earp about that, and all he would say was, "nothing personal, just business, they just let the buzzards clean things up back then". That all happened not too far from here.
