COUNTRYSIDE FARM UNIT
5606


This unit is unchanged from the previous year. It contains a former LITTLETOWN structure. For details see: 1957.

There is another total parts discrepancy for this unit with the catalog stating that there are 65 pieces, and the box, which proclaims that 139 pieces are included. It is presumed that Bachmann was again counting all of the walls of each structure for the "box count" and this is not reflected in the catalog.

RAILROAD CENTER UNIT
5608


This is the first appearance of the 1620 Loading Platform in a Master Unit. This is a former Littletown structure.

Littletown also produced many figures for their line of products. Why Bachmann chose to reproduce only eight of them and put them in this, and other units is unknown. These figures are slightly larger than those that originated with Bachmann and they have come to be known to collectors as "Fat People." spacer

WAY STATION UNIT

In this unit Bachmann would replace the Suburban Station with the Station Platform, and the 1029 Crossing Gate would replace the five 1000 Telephone Poles that were in the previous years’ 5403 TOY TRAIN ACCESSORIES UNIT.

Also in this unit are the eight Littletown people referred to in the contents of the box and in the catalog as "Railroad Characters." These people have come to be known to collectors as the "Fat People."
