Thanks you both. I simply pasted a photo of the official map in the background and tried to replicate it on Inkscape.

Seloloving · March 5th, 2012, 08:13 AM

Another bonus.

Nice, selo!

Outram Park with TSL please!

Seloloving · March 5th, 2012, 04:44 PM

Outram Park is going to be a killer.

Will try though.

Another logo from SMRT, this time.

The C751A is sexier...

mrtfreak · March 5th, 2012, 05:17 PM

Nice. I'd say that the SBST one is a lot more accurate. I don't recall having Maglev trains on our system.

Seloloving · March 5th, 2012, 05:17 PM

Blame the LTA/SMRT design team.

Two photos of a trip to Punggol today.

SBST parked a train at EVERY single Punggol West Loop station.

This photo was taken at approximately where the North East Line overrun tunnel ends. Relic of the past or...?

EDIT: You serious, LTA?

mrtfreak · March 6th, 2012, 11:21 AM

[LOLZ] That means it will be an MRT interchange in future. [/LOLZ]

Aranho · March 6th, 2012, 03:30 PM

Is it just Soo Teck stn? Or the others are wrong too?

Seloloving · March 6th, 2012, 03:38 PM

Only Soo Teck station was green.

Admittedly...most of the stations exteriors are in terrible condition. SBST will have to refurbish them again when they finally operate them.

mrtfreak · March 6th, 2012, 03:50 PM

Umm... How about the transport mode symbol. Isn't that the MRT symbol and not the LRT one?

sandstorm6299 · March 6th, 2012, 03:54 PM

It's for the EWL's northeast express branch

wd1 · March 6th, 2012, 07:41 PM

selo, nice work! interesting to find the letters "TBM" on the drain cover at PGL - and strange, because as far as i know, everything on the NEL from HGN northwards was built by C&C, not by TBM...

Seloloving · March 6th, 2012, 09:11 PM

You have raised an interesting point. C&C was used from Hougang to Punggol...

It depends when the letters were scrawled anyways. Perhaps before the NEL construction all the way back then?

I found piles of extremely rusted nails at various sites around the stations. It seems LTA has not bothered clearing up the areas.

Hmm...didn't notice that till you mentioned it.

What?

In any case, another present, presenting Chinatown MRT Station.

A record 9 hours to finish this map. For whatever particular reason, I don't like it and I question LTA's logic on using - of all colours - yellow for the backdrop.

Secondly, where on earth is Exit B on NEL? I haven't been able to locate it on the Streets Directory, OneMap, or even their official LTA display map. I assigned Exit B to DTL henceforth.

aforl · March 7th, 2012, 05:30 AM

Looks very very real. Did you use only inkscape to do that?
I'm tempted to try making one too but I think it will fail terribly LOL

lol - this TBM is an acronym for Temporary Bench Mark. It's a survey levelling point. It doesn't mean Tunnel Boring Machine

Seloloving · March 7th, 2012, 05:49 AM

Yes, only Inkscape. I used a photo of the official map as a reference though.

If you wish to attempt a map, there are 7 layers I use. In chronological order on what appears atop each other...

Names
Station
Line
HDB
Road
Photo
Backdrop

I usually complete the backdrop colours and road layouts first, followed by the original station without the new links.

The reason for placing the photo above the backdrop is that the latter is the easiest and most obstructive canvas, I will only turn on it's visibility after nearly the entire map is complete.

The little symbols are last priority.

...and here I am with high hopes.

Seloloving · March 7th, 2012, 10:20 AM

Unofficial logo by modifying the SBST NEL one. SMRT used the same NSEW logo for all their CCL PSDs...

Cool stuff! I really like it.

Have you noticed however that there are 4 times Temple Street on your map?
