Plans at your local public library

[David Morrow]

Check your local library for back issues of periodicals that have had plans published.

I found a set of Poppin plans on the web but they are just about unusable due to the poor scanning job. Then I thought of doing an online search through my local public library ( I'm in Vancouver, BC). I found that our library had "Live Steam" magazine going back to 1980 (I needed Nov/1980) and beyond. A quick trip to the main branch and I had the photocopies that I needed.

Boy, you got lucky there ! Live Steam isn't on most libraries magazine list

P.S. I've got ALL issue of Live Steam mags from 1967 to current, so if someone needs a few pages here and there, lemme know ! I'm looking for earlier issues too

If anyone has a good copy of the poppin plans, there is a space waiting in my archive for it. My copy is only just readable.
