Other clubs and societies have expressed an interest and regular contact occurs between clubs and individuals from several other continental European clubs. The eurotrack Association holds an annual exhibition in one of the member countries. There is currently no show planned in 2022 and the next one planned is in Hungary in 2023. At each association exhibition a large modular layout constructed using sections built to the FFMF (Fédération Française de Modélisme Ferroviaire) standard. The layout is typically 60 to 80 modules long, with standard modules being 122cm / 4ft and in Vienna in October 2011 it was 155m long with trains averaging 7 to 8 actual kilometres per day!
