Anyone modelling Barnsley? I have just received this email press release. 1:500 are large scale maps ideal for track planning, similar in size the railway 40ft rating plans (1:480). However, I haven't seen these maps so I have no idea how much railway detail is included. p.s. The Nitro PDF Reader (free) can extract the original JPG scans from PDF files, for use as picture shapes. The DPI and scale are known , so it would be easy: http://www.nitroreader.com Barnsley Family History Society have released on CD, The Ordnance Survey complete series (sixteen sheets) of Barnsley Town Maps (scale 1: 500, surveyed 1888 and published 1889.) Each sheet (966mm x 644mm) covers an area of 38.4 acres, was scanned at 300dpi and saved to CD as a separate PDF file (numbered 01-16.) To aid searches, a zoom enabled combined map of all the sheets is on a separate PDF file. A comprehensive index of Streets, Churches, Foundries, Mills, Public Houses and Schools, etc., is also included. £10.00 + P&P Copies can be ordered via the shop on: http://www.barnsleyfhs.co.uk or the Genfair site: http://www.genfair.co.uk/product_list.php?sid=2&page=71337 |
