Over the years I have enjoyed getting a musty piece of bond paper or a blue print, four cans of tomato soup (to pin the rolled paper to a flat surface, of course), and then poring over it.
One of the two most exciting days of my life was about 20 years ago when I walked into a second hand shop to find this battered canister sitting forlornly in a corner.
Yes, now it sits at my front door, alongside an equally battered Tasma radio and a pair of battered school shoes.
Closer inspection of that canister revealed the writing on the top as follows:
Sadly, the canister was empty. But the second most exciting day happened when I walked into another second hand shop on another day to find a plan of the NSWGR's Eveleigh precinct, showing the planned destruction of the remainder of a once-great steam locomotive depot in order to build AcDep (the depot to service air conditioned cars).
There are not enough tomato soup tins in existence to show you this plan, but it is curled up in the aforementioned canister, waiting to travel to a certain railway museum once I have shuffled off this earth.
But enough of that - back to plans. I like plans a great deal because I can't draw a straight line. There is great skill in producing 2 dimensional rendering of 3D objects. And the Australian Model Railway Magazine (AMRM) and Motive Power magazine have published some very good plans.
What follows is an incomplete list, covering the plans of interest to me from the first 20 volumes of the AMRM (which are now available on CD) and selected issues of Motive Power. I am not reproducing the plans here - that breaches copyright and is an insult to the work/art of the drafters. But the following information may help someone track down a plan for modelling or enjoyment.
