GRVS is primarily an N-scale club utilizing both the N-Trak and T-Trak standards. One of the characteristics of the module standards we have chosen is that there are clubs all over the world that build to the same standard. If we don’t have enough members who want to go to a particular show to have our own complete layout, we can often find another club that will welcome a few visiting modules to their layout. As a result, GRVS has friendly relations with clubs from Ontario, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, and other states. At some shows multiple clubs will combine their modules to make a single really big layout. This requires a good deal of cooperative planning, but it works!
