1. So, your plush passenger train has deposited you at the big white (_ _ _ _ _) (_ _ _ _ _ _ _) for your visit to the town of Plasticville USA, and as you stroll along the green roofed (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) and down the steps you glance up at the (_ _ _ _ _) faces on the weathervane topped (_ _ _ _ _) of the red brick (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) across Main Street.
2. You don’t need a hotel, you’re staying with friends who live in a (_ _ _ _ _) (_ _ _ _ _) house with a big bay window in front.  You scan the (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) passing by the small red (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) and green light (_ _ _ _ _) that line the street and wonder where your ride is.
3. You have some time to wait, so you stroll on past the U.S. (_ _ _ _ - _ _ _ _ _ _) with it’s mailboxes out front, past the (_ _ _ _ _ _) house with a (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) full of happy young (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) playing on the swings and merry-go-round and arrive at the notch-front (_ _ _ _ _ _) store.  Of course, this is a street corner so there’s at least one (_ _ _) station here!
4. You cross the street and head toward the small (_ _ _ _) with the wood (_ _ _ _ _ _) across it’s center.  It serves as the centerpiece to the town park.  You find a (_ _ _ _ _) and sit down and as you do, you hear the wail of a whistle as a train approaches a grade crossing with a (_ _ _ _) and a small (_ _ _ _ _ _) for the watchman.
5. This park also boasts a large rectangular (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) (_ _ _ _) for townsfolk to cool off in and a (_ _ _ _ _ _) Bar near the white picket (_ _ _ _ _) that keeps ice cream lovers from falling into the water.
6. Walking back toward the depot, you peer into the display windows of the (_ _ _ _ - _ _ _ - _ _ _ _) variety store, admire the impressive (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) with a high bell tower and gothic windows and even the red roofed (_ _ _ _) station with it’s shiny red trucks parked inside.
7. Beside the town hall at the (_ _ _ _ _ _) station with it’s barred windows, officers are discussing how best to deal with a (_ _ _ _) who has constructed a small wood (_ _ _ _ _) in the rail yard near the (_ _ _ _) tower.  (Apparently all that black dust doesn’t bother him.)
8. In the distance you spy a (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) station with a bay window facing the tracks.  It’s surrounded by little one-story (_ _ _ _) (_ _ _) style houses and a (_ _ _ _ _ _) with a steeple and stained glass windows.  Even farter away you can see the big red roofed (_ _ _ _) with it’s chrome topped silo at your friend’s farm.
9. Looks like you’ll cross an old wood (_ _ _ _ _ _ _) bridge and pass a (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) produce stand on the way.  It’s no match for the big art deco (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) back home, but your wife wants really fresh corn.
10. Strolling back toward the station, you see the entrance to the All American (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) and there’s a small red (_ _ _ _) splashing about in the in the (_ _ _ _) out front of the nearby (_ _ _ _ _ _) with its tiny steeple.
11. Back at the rail yard, your ride arrives and as you greet him you spot the (_ _ _ _ _ _) tower at the interlocking and see some cattle milling about the (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _).  All in all it’s an average day in Plasticville USA.
