 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. If the tree sections are a solid GREEN color, then these have originated in an HO kit.
The sections 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 sized tree sections are needed.
