The Oak Park IL Society Of Model Engineers. May 2010.

The fabled North American "Steam Era", is alive and well on any given operating session in miniature, at the Oak Park Society of Model Engineers H.O Scale model railroad club.

This Baldwin U.S.R.A (United States Railway Administration, World War 1 era) 2-10-2 steam freight service locomotive, is paced by My digital camera along the club layout.

Even if no one is running steam equipment on Your visit to the club at 255 Augusta Boulevard in west suburban Oak Park Illinois, there is plenty of other modern or vintage diesel powered miniature freight or passenger trains to be enjoyed as well.
