As of now here is what has been drawn excluding Plant Zone and the workshops. Apart from adding those areas, generationalising all the track (checking to see how much still exists today) is another task to be completed. I have decided to draw all the yards from scratch (compared to the stuff I did in…

I have now refactored and re-rendered all the geojpegs for Addington and have started working on the maps.

However this isn’t serious enough to affect maps, it just affects the background when they are…

This is just a quick progress update. The refactoring is progressing well but the week is busy (week before Easter) with other things so not much is going to be done over the next few days. As my goal is to have all three pieces of Addington completed before doing any maps, it could be…

This has resulted in needing to re-render all the partial map tiles which is a relatively slow process. Hence the maps have not…
