pink plasticville motel
Posted by Maine_Central_guy on Monday, October 3, 2016 5:27 PM

I have a pink version of the Plasticville Siesta Motel. I can't find pictures of it online anywhere and in old bachmann catalogs. I know the motel Wasnt repainted by the guy i got it from and its in is factory colors. My theory is that it might've been a European version or something, but I doubt that my theory is correct. please help me find out the truth about this wierd structure!

I remember that kit in the 90s. 

Before I chose a scale I wanted both HO & N trains, structures, and vehicles.

The Bachmann HO scale "Siesta" motel came in a variety of colors over the years.  Pink being one of them.  So not a European verison.

It makes a great kitbashing model.  Here's mine (repainted and made into a 2 story motel):
