I thought some of you might be interested in the sort of HO narrow gauge modeling from across the pond. The Great Lakes HOn30 Modular Group is a loosely organized group scattered in the states of Ohio and Michigan, from Traverse City, MI, to Cincinnati, OH, with one member exiled to Arizona. Having been a high school Mathematics teacher for 33 years, rather than a Geography teacher, I trust that those of you curious about the distances involved will check Google Maps.

Great stuff Jeff! Now that is what I call an "area group". Are you planning a Group Member's Day with 009 Society Sales attending soon?......................
Mick
Thanks for the kind words, Mick.
I'd hate to think what it would cost to fly the 009 Sales team and sale items across the pond. ;D
Jeff S
Thanks for the link Jeff. Some great stuff on there!
Trouble with those sort of links, you start wandering off... It was over an hour before I remembered where I was supposed to be, and what I was supposed to be doing :laugh:

Shaun,
Glad you liked it. There is fantastic modeling on some of the modules.
Jeff S
only just noted this thread. Great group and some super modules, many with Maine ng locations
Presumably DC and you have some "standards" for connectivity

Peter,
Yes, there are several prototype scenes from the Maine 2 footers, but many of the modules depict generic Maine scenes. Also, there are standards regarding mainline location and module height.

Perhaps the modules could come over here instead? ;-)

Will the Society hire a charter jet for us? ;-}
For those of you thinking about attending the 2016 National Narrow Gauge Convention, in Augusta, Maine, the Great Lakes HOn30 layout will be there.
