THE MASTER UNITS OF 1956 |
This year would mark the point at which Bachmann would change their production numbers to a strictly four digit system for their Plasticville products. The master units would also have these designations. In addition to these newly numbered units that we have listed below, Bachmann would indicate in the 1956 catalog that the following units were also available: |
AU-6 Airport & Accessories Unit CH-9 Community Church Unit PB-8 Public Buildings Unit RR-5 Railroad Accessories Unit |
RU-4 Dairy Farm Unit SP-8 Shopping Center Unit TA-2 Train Accessories Unit |
These are assumed to be left over stock from the previous year.
