Hi Folks, As a way to introduce myself to the Planning Portal Mapping facility used by Templot i have produced this Templot of Tonbridge Station/ West Yard. Although very much still a "work in progress" i'm stuck on the last piece of this Jig-saw I've highlighted this in orange on the .box file (the files quite big) Any ideas as to how to construct this piece of P&C? What is its description? Many Thanks Mark |

It would be very unlikely on the transition curves you have there, so I replaced it with fixed 3000mm radius curves (750ft scale) and linked transitions. The angle is 1:7.5 (a common size for curved diamonds and slips -- the 1:8 limit for fixed K-crossings applies only to straight diamonds): 2_141144_570000000.png If you add from file... this file to your own plan you will see it matches quite well. Over to you to add the upper slip road -- just follow the slip tutorial and ignore the curving. edit: Slip road added. File is now attached to my next post below. p.s. you omitted to upload the .bmp map image file. The .bgs file contains only the picture shape container for it. The .box file was so large because it contained so many unused templates -- more than 50% of them were unused. regards, Martin. |

Hi Martin, Thanks for the helping hand I haven't loaded the .bmp file as that is also too large 60.4MB (10.4MB when zipped). Not sure if there's anything else i can try? On the .bmp the problem area in question doesn't look like a slip but it seems to work. I see what you mean about unwanted templates in the storage box so i've cleaned that up Cheers Mark |

Hi Tony, My thoughts exactly. Unfortunately my numbers on the lotto haven't come in yet. Short of a millionaire donating a building about 90ft long by 40 wide to allow for storage cassettes and of course the final bit of the West Yard i can't see building it..........Shame Thanks Anyway Mark |

It could be a half-scissors or an outside slip. Do you have any photos of the area? I've added the slip road for you -- file attached. Try saving the .bmp as a 256-colour (8-bit) indexed PNG file. It will be very much smaller. It's not usable in Templot in that format, but we can easily save it again as a .bmp after downloading. regards, Martin. |
