As shown in the picture, the tree was common in the early injected mold technology. These trees were only produced for the No. RA-5 Railroad Accessories and the No. JC-3 Fence and Gate Master Units in 1949, and they’re hard to find today in any condition. Often it is referred to as a "Christmas Tree," which is why its production number is CT-6. I had a bunch of them.

Some extra views around the model town of Port Sunlight built by Lever Brothers for their adjacent soap factory in the Arts & Crafts style.

Model towns/cities etc in Hamburg.

This log cabin dates back to 1951 and was one of the first houses created in the Plasticville village. The Log Cabin is one of the first kits that Bachmann made. Early kits would come with sections of rustic fence, and a tree, but did not have a chimney.

This was the small model town that I had in 1968. I made the landscape from papier mache, the houses were put together from kits (Faller). This town lived on the top of my clothes cupboard. It was on a very small island, separate from the large town. (Though, surprisingly, I gave it a two lane asphalt road!!)

Approaching the through platform at Sutton Mill. She was a failure last time out and the burner still isn't running as it should, but I got a spirited (butaned) 40 minute run.

This is one of the first structures introduced by Bachmann and its production spanned over three decades. RS-7 was the first designation given to this station when it was first released in 1950, and on the box it was labeled "Passenger Station."

This tree was first available in 1950 under the designation TR-6. This tree was formed out of two different sections that slide together. These individual sections are illustrated to the right. Sometimes these sections are very difficult to separate once they are mated together. The Spruce Tree was issued in three different colors. The LIGHT GREEN and the DARK GREEN varieties are relatively easy to locate,

First available in 1950, this barn has had a long history. As a result, several uncommon variations have occurred. The first of these that was available only in 1950 and possibly 1949, was the RED sides and a DARK GREEN roof version.

The Ranch House was first constructed in the plastic village in 1951. Since then, it has been manufactured in many different colors.

The coach has been here a while, but has never run as I don't have anything else that goes with it. Soon joining a lengthy list of ex-Sutton Mill Light Railway rolling stock.

These are typical of the cars used during the 1940's and early 1950's in Lionel Train displays

The Frosty Bar came out in 1954 and was produced in either SALMON or YELLOW and WHITE colors. The following year Bachmann would produce this kit with a "CHROME" counter. This would be the only year that this fast food chain would use the chrome counter, making these kits somewhat more valuable

The Maple tree was first available in 1949. The maple tree came in only the one color of BRIGHT (Kelly) GREEN.
