GRVS Modules
GRVS follows the N-Trak standard. An N-Trak Booklet that describes the standard is available from the N-Trak website
N-Trak Website: N-Trak
A couple of items, other than a module, are required to participate in our layouts:
- A fence pole to allow a rope to be held in front of module at 38 inch height
- A bucket (coffee can) filled with concrete and a 3/4 inch to 1
inch PVC pole cemented in place, is recommended.
- Fence Pole must allow
members access to space between fence rope and module - to be able to walk around
layout inside of the fence.
- See the Show Check List for more
information of what participants need to provide.
A couple of points of emphasis:
- While Cinch-Jomes plugs are still the N-trak standard, GRVS encourages the use of the new alternate standard - Powerpoles as described on the N-trak web site
- If you use Powerpoles on your modules, per the N-trak rules, you must provide Powerpole-to-Cinch-Jones adapters.
- The white (DC power for throttles) line is required.
- Use eyebolts for height adjustment mechanism rather than carriage bolts.
