The Oak Park Society Of Model Engineers H.O Scale Model Railroad Club. Oak Park Illinois USA. Early April 2011.

I took this photo recently, at the Oak Park Society Of Model Engineers H.O Scale Model Railroad Club.

I grew up on the near southwest side of Chicago Illinois during the 1960's and 70's era. I have happy memories of this time as a kid back then, and have decided to model equipment from this era as well.

Seen here on the club layout, are some of My Athearn 1960's era box cars. The Illinois Cetral car to the left, and the Gulf, Mobile & Ohio one to the right, help demonstrate the fact, that these two railroads had merged in August of 1972, and thus became the Illinois Central Gulf Railroad.
