The Oak Park Society Of Model Engineers, H.O Scale Model Railroad Club. Oak Park Illinois USA., a photo by Eddie from Chicago on Flickr.

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

I grew up in the city of Chicago Illinois, on the near southwest side of town.

The real life day to day trains of My own youth here in the Windy City, is what I really enjoy modeling in H.O scale.

Seen here is y Athearn H.O scale freight train from the former Atchinson, Topeka & santa Fe Railroad. With the Athearn EMD GP 35 wearing the Santa Fe's 1960's era blue and yellow color scheme and some 1970's era box cars in tow...I can sit back and watch an A,T & S,F freight train from this period roll past Me on the club layout.

Thanks.
