Plasticville is a brand of plastic toy train building sold in the United States, made by Philadelphia, Pennsylvania-based Bachmann Industries since 1947 (although they were first advertised in 1946).
Plasticville buildings are a simple design, made of walls that snap together, permitting them to be assembled without glue and easily disassembled again for storage.
When Bachmann found out consumers were using its product on train layouts, it also added some other accessories such as trees, bushes, and bridges.
By 1950, Bachmann had added houses and stores to the product line, and Plasticville quickly became the most popular brand of train buildings on the U.S. market.
A Plasticville building has its highest collectible value when accompanied by its original box and in an unglued and unpainted state.
