The Oak Park Society of Model Engineers H.O Scale Model Railroad Club. Oak Park Illinois USA. July 2011., a photo by Eddie from Chicago on Flickr.

I took this photo last July.

I am currently member of the Oak Park Society of Model Engineers,H.O Scale Model Railroad Club in west suburban Oak Park Illinois. I always look foreward to the club's Wednsday night operating session when My job desn't make Me work late.

In the foreground, is My then recently acquired used Athearn U.S.R.A 2-8-2 steam locomotive. In the background, ae a few Walthers Trainline series EMD rebuilt GP 9 locomotives owned by fellow club member Rich.

It is a fun, loose and somewhat informal group that operates periods and prototypes together from different eras.

Thanks.
