Could anyone tell me where I can find a HO scale hospital? None of the catalogs that I have show or list any. Any help on this is greatley appreciated, and thanks for your help.

This is the only hospital that I've ever seen.
http://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/272-130995
Unfortunately, it's $280.

Let us know if you find any other ones. I'm sure that you could change another building, or kitbash one fairly easily. You could also try either Walthers or DPM's modular kits and build your own as well.
Good luck

About 10 years ago, I believe Model Power had one out called "St. Mary's Hospital." It was based on another one of their kits (can't remember which, getting old...) and looked to be one building, about 8 x 10 inches or so. I never saw one out of the box so can for sure say.

Good luck!

I always thought the Walther's Ford Headquarters building could be bashed into a hospital.

[#ditto] Yes davekelly, you can use the Walthers Ford headquarters building as an hospital. It comes with the necessary items to build it has an hospital. A small add-on wall, small roof, ramp, to add an emergency room to the back of the building. It comes with the details of how to add these add-on sections. Why do I know, because I have two of them. I hope this helps.

Robert,

Wow. I have the kit, but have not opened it yet as there are so many other projects ahead of it so I was just guessing when I made my earlier post. In this instance I turned out to be smarter than I thought!!! (I better mark it on my calendar so that I can refer to it next time I make two left walls for a building or spill paint all over an almost finished project).

Any large office-type building would make a decent hospital, I think--it's just a matter of making up a sign.
