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 skillsets, 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 accomodate 40-50 car trains.
At present, we have completed benchwork construction and have approximately 400 feet of track laid in a point-to-loop configuration. In the coming weeks, we'll be adding a second (temporary) return loop and another 30+ foot long passing siding. We've also begun the process of installing drywall backdrops which will soon allow for the installation of scenery.
Individuals wishing to explore membership opportunities are encouraged to contact info@psmr.org to arrange a visit to our facilities. You can also go to our membership page and complete an On-line application.
