“The LEGO Samsonite Town Plan Board, set 246, released in 1961, was part of the Town Plan theme. This set included a large baseplate designed to create a town layout. It featured roads, parking areas, and spaces for buildings and vehicles, offering a foundation for children to build and expand their LEGO towns. The set did not include LEGO bricks or accessories; it was intended to complement other sets in the Town Plan series, allowing for a more organized and realistic town setup.”

Key sets in this theme include the Town Plan (Set 725) and the Town Plan Accessories (Set 218).
