 Welcome
to Elmhurst Model
Railroad Club, home of the
Illinois Western Railroad. We
have both HO and HOn3 layouts
depicting a nostalgic look at
life as it was in the Midwest in
the 40's, 50's and 60's.
Scenes
vary from rolling hillsides and
farms to a large steel mill. You
can also experience real life
railroading right outside our
front door.
We are located just
west of the former Chicago and
Northwestern Proviso yard, now UP's busiest mainline track.
Trains pass by at about 20
minute intervals. You can safely
watch trains both day and night.
Layouts are only a part of the
club's total picture. Our club
constitution states:
"The purpose
of the club shall be to
encourage the building and
operating of model railroad
layouts for members use and for
exhibition. A secondary purpose
shall be to encourage friendship
and to promote the hobby of
model railroading."
In addition,
we regularly have activities
like club picnics, auctions,
parties, slide shows, movie
nights, video nights, visits to
and from other model railroad
clubs and fan trips.
