Town Plan

This set was produced from 1961-65 with an inconsistent inventory and no official piece count. It's likely this set was produced by weight. Earlier examples are known to have a relatively consistent inventory, containing the usual town elements denoted below. Samsonite imported specialty pieces such as HO cars or painted trees from Denmark, so late 1963-65 examples are likely to be missing specialty pieces due to the discontinuation of the town plan system in 1965. This set contained painted trees and bushes until 1962. The commonly accepted inventory is as follows: trees and bushes, an Esso signpost, lightposts, garage assembly, grey 10x20 plates, 1 set of petrol pumps, 2 HO scale VWs, and the classic trio of red HO service vehicles. Specialty parts without an amount indicated contained a maximum of 5, but some earlier examples break this rule. More than enough basic pieces are included to construct the example model shown on the box with some left over. The basic pieces included in this set were consistently cellulose acetate with a LEGO logo reminiscent of the one produced on LEGO bricks in Europe at the time.
