This would be the first known year that Master Units were available. Bachmann did not support these units with any form of documentation. The only resource as to what units were available, and the contents of these units, comes from the advertising of retailers and distributors of the time. Shown to the left is one of these advertisements.

There is no production number that is shown on the box of the Community Unit but it is known to have the assigned designation of VU-4.

Although the name "PLASTICVILLE" is shown on these units, it would not be until 1950 that Bachmann would register this name for these items.
