In 1957, Bachmann introduced a new version of pine tree. These trees were assembled from six sections and a trunk to form a tree. There were 56 pieces that formed eight trees in this assortment. The plastic was molded in GREEN with flecks of BROWN.


The HO Scale Kits

The HO kits contain the same amount of trees and they are the same size. Released in 1979 and the early 1980s’ these trees came in the boxes that are shown to the left. Some kits contained trees that were multi-colored as the O scale kits, however, some have been found with the tree sections that are a solid GREEN color. If you have a kit that you know is original and confirm this we’d like to hear from you. Just use the contact link at the bottom of this page.

The sections of these trees in all of these kits are held together by small pins that are cast into each piece. These pins fit very tightly into the adjoining section. Because of this, they are often broken when care is not taken as the parts are separated. Needless to say, it is always the smaller top section that gets lost and the larger ones are the first to be broken at the tips. None of these parts are reproduced and all sizes of these tree sections are needed.
