It didn't take long for me to add to Whittingly Hospital. I was tidying the workbench putting away left over materials and wondered if I had any ducks left over from previous projects. I didn't, but I did have a pair of swans - and what's more, they had been painted already! As I thought, they do add a little interest to the front of the layout.
In the same box I found a couple of other details I could use. Both are in this photo...
The letterbox adds a splash of colour in the foreground too. My thinking is the guard collects the post a couple of times a day, transferring it to Royal Mail at the junction. This small letterbox on a post was also already painted, recovered from a past layout, it seemed more suitable than a full size pillar box.
The other detail is this pinch bar, used for moving wagons by hand, it's been left leaning against a wall. Subtle, but just helps to break up an otherwise bland corner.
I wouldn't be surprised if other details get added in time!
