+===== Introduction =====
+A fine way of making a larger Railroad setup, is using modules.\\
+On our Modelrailway Club in Venlo (NL), called MGV, we are no exception.\\
+These modules are moveable, also to shows, and easy to acces for every detail while construction is going on.\\
+For coupling of railpower and a low current (it is all leds !) 12 or 16V we use a simple connector board.\\
+Each side of these modules has this board installed, and short 5 wire cables are used for interconnection.\\
+On the module itself,  these boards are interconnected.\\
+Installation of a large setup is now pretty simple.\\
+Just running LocoNet cables from one module to the next,(we are using GCA LocoNet network for many years already on three large layouts)\\
+and the 5 wire cable from above and all connections are settled.\\
+This board is a D.I.Y. project, no boards available.\\
+Board is single sided and on Eurocard PCB contains 10 items.\\
+You can make your own standard of how and which connections are made and used.\\
+===== The prototype =====
+|  {{:gca:gca01_pict01.png?400}}  |  A large amount of these boards have been made already.  \\  It never came to a professional made board,   \\  they are all home-made like on picture, and working fine.  \\  This board is  single sided D.I.Y. only, and not avalable from GCA.  |
