I would like to make a complete outfit of carriages but am lacking plans. I only have plans for 3 different types of parcel vans. They are a 57ft Gangwayed Full Brake (BG), A 57 ft General utility Van (GUV) and a 37ft Covered Carriage Truck (CCT). The GUV is the 8 Wheel version and i read in an old model railway constructor article that there was a 4 wheel version also. Has anyone got the plans for one of these? Also i would be really grateful for scale plans for the following carriage types:

I know many of these will have the same layout and exterior i just thought for clarity i'd name all the types. The length of the vehicle's i've included are ones i know for sure but any other plans with different sizes shall be greatly welcome. Late BR Crest era is time period i'm going for and ex-LNWR/LMS the region but many of the carriage types were extracted from a copy of LNWR Marshalling Circular for 1912 so plans for carriages of this period would be pretty awesome. Many thanks for any help u can provide, or even just for taking the time to work your way through my monster list. Cheers
 
Thanks Mike. Found a couple of books, they'll just have to wait a little while till i've got some spare cash:( . I'll post back on here when i know if there are any that i still need. Any offers of plans though would still be greatly appreciated. U can never have too many :p
