Our Modules (3 of 3)

S1 PY1 Powell Yard 1 - ladders into the west end of the Powell Yard; it contains the Packing House and the end of the icing platform

S10 PY2 Powell Yard 2 - the Ice House module

S15 PY2.5 Powell Yard 2.5, built to extend the yard for better switching operations

S9 PY3 Powell Yard 3 - Engine Service Area

S17 PY3.5 Powell Station Extension. When this picture was taken, the module was under construction but nearing completion; we need to take a new picture. The purpose of this module is to extend the platforms of Powell Station to a realistic length, long enough to accommodate more than two passenger cars.

S8 PY4 Powell Yard 4 - Station Module

S2 PY5 Powell Yard 5 - Freight Station module and the ladder into the east end of Powell Yard

Vineyard Lift Bridge module (S16)

This is how it looks when it's raised. Carefully measured to avoid damage to the winery!

Roundhouse and Engine Service Yard comprising modules S18, S19, T1, and T2

Undecorated Modules S11 and S12 were initially intended to fill in when an extra module was needed at a show or at the Model Railroad Museum. They have, however, come to be used to display dioramas built by club members. It's a lot faster and easier to build a diorama than to build a whole module, and it's a lot easier and faster to swap dioramas on an undecorated module than to remove one module from the layout and insert a different one.

The first diorama built was this log yard.

With the addition of Woody's Lumber, it grew into a full-blown lumber yard.

Here's a close-up view of Woody's showing men working and stacks of lumber.

Next came this intermodal facility.
