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

Hello everyone!
Welcome aboard Eddie's Railfan Page, from the city of Chicago Illinois USA.

Just recently, I had become a member of The Oak Park Society Of Model Engineers H.O Scale Model Railroad Club. This club, is located at 255 West Augusta Boulevard, in west suburban Oak Park Illinois.

Aside from having the opportunity to operate My own H.O scale 1960's era Atchinson, Topeka & Santa Fe freight train, wich has appeared numerous times here at Eddie's Railfan Page...I have the wonderful privelidge of seeing the other members trains operate as well.

One of My favorites is from one of My fellow club members named Mitch,, is this late 1960's and early 1970's era Illinois Central freight train. I grew up approximately one mile north of the Illinois Central's Iowa Division mainline, and enjoyed seeing the orange and white locomotive color scheme back in the days.
