I likes it & apparently it came with a playground & a flag
Also saw the railroad station & it resembles the Tyco built-up one

Yes BUSS. It would seem the TYCO aquired the Aurora molds and reissed that as theirs. Schoolhouse became a Factory. Everything else stayed the same. Buy that I mean the church stayed a church. The gas station stayed a Gas station and so on.

There was a very similar school a few blocks from where I grew up. Some of the details aren't a perfect match, and it's since been remodeled / expanded, but it's still very close. I wonder just how many of these were built across the country?
