Who Are We?
Poway Station is a modular club. Our layouts are
built in sections that can be joined together end
to end to form nearly limitless configurations.
This concept was pioneered by NTrak, Inc. and has
been adapted for HO and G scale use by our
Club.
A Poway
Station layout consists of a set of main line
tracks that run the entire length of the
module, close to the outside edge. These
tracks meet and align with identically placed
tracks from other modules. The connected main
line tracks allow trains to travel completely
around the whole Club layout. Once the main
line tracks are installed, the builder is
free to customize the module.
Modules
tend to be in a continuous state of
development; realistic landscaping is added
and altered as often as the builder desires.
Some of the beginner's modules have only the
two main lines, while more advanced members
have created scenic destinations complete
with all the details you'd find in the real
world. Module builders are only limited by
their imaginations!
Meetings
Meetings can encompass several different
activities. We might be running trains, building
modules or scenery, repairing engines, adjusting
trucks, laying track or even just watching a
video.
Once a month we hold our business meetings on
Tuesday at 7:00 pm. We meet in Templar's Hall at
14134 Midland Road, Poway. Most of our meetings are
on Tuesdays except Board meetings, when we plan
special "work nights" at our member's homes
to help them finish projects on their modules and
personal layouts. The start time varies on these
member hosted meetings, so please check our website
for the latest news and updates!
Club Membership
We welcome people of all ages and abilities who
have an interest in any scale of railroading. Our
current member roster includes train buffs from
nearly every generation, with a wide variety of
ages and skill levels represented. Please join us

progressive Club is right for you!
