Prairie Scale Model Railroaders is an HO Scale model railroad club in Lombard, Illinois. What makes us different from most model railroad clubs is that while we have varied interests and skill-sets, we're primarily interested in prototype modeling and prototypical operations.
We occupy a 7,200 square foot space that, a few decades ago, once housed an 8-lane bowling alley. The size and shape of this space will ultimately allow us to build a railroad with a mainline run of roughly 2,000 feet, with broad, sweeping curves and passing sidings that will accommodate 40-50 car trains.
Great videography... I had it mistaken for prototype until I wondered: "Why all the 40-foot freight cars in a 2024 manifest freight..?..." Then I realized: NOT the 2024 world, at all... Pete C., in NH
