The Oak Park Society of Model Engineers (OPSME) is a not-for-profit, educational HO Gauge Model Railroad Club, beginning its 5th decade! 

The OPSME layout is home to the Oak River Railroad. It has been located in the lower level of the Dole Learning Center at 255 Augusta Boulevard, Oak Park, Illinois, since 1979, when it moved from the Lewis Carroll Center in south Oak Park. 

We are dedicated to the understanding, building, and enjoyment of HO scale model railroading and the history of the important industry that inspires it.

Would you like to be a part of the new model railroad that OPSME runs? 

We are building an entirely new Oak River Rail Road layout!  

You can help us-- to do and or learn how to do carpentry, electrical, track laying and scenery. The new layout uses DCC and is accessible for those with mobility concerns.

When you join, you receive our monthly newsletter, The Oak River Dispatch.  We offer three categories of membership suited to members' time and budget. 

For more information or to join our club, contact either Henry Kranz at: kranzconsulting@sbcglobal.net
