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. On Wednesday evenings, 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 at a meeting and see if this dynamic, active and progressive
Club is right for you!
