Rail200 - Whittingly Hospital

My Rail200 challenge entry is finally finished, and the entry submitted with a whole 6 days to spare!

It has a name too - Whittingly Hospital. Since it's inspired by Whittingham and Hellingly Hospitals (amongst others) it's not the most original name, but it seems an appropriate reference to the inspiration.

The composition of the buildings has worked out well, and I'm pleased with how the covered platform has come out. The cinder yard is a little darker than I'd intended, but the buried track is a nice contrast to the ballast.

There's limited scope for details, in photos the prototypes' yards seem to be kept tidy and it wouldn't be a place busy with people, so the few figures are placed with apparent purpose. We see the vicar returning from a visit (perhaps a service?) talking to a nurse heading home, and a groundsman taking a break from mowing the extensive parklands...

A sneaky look out from under the canopy works surprisingly well too, revealing figures that aren't easy to see from the front. 

The engine shed provides interest at the opposite end of the scene. Look into the gloom inside the shed and a fitter can be seen.

The pond provides visual interest in the foreground, and was surprisingly easy to do. Perhaps it could do with a duck or two?

Another figure waits in the shadows of the boiler house. 

Another view that can't be seen from the front of the layout. It's unfortunate that the platform couldn't be arranged to face the front, but that's compromise of a micro layout.
