On September 29th-30th 2018, I attended the Fall Mini-Bunch Meet. For those who may not know, the Mini-Bunch is a small group of Narrow Gauge Enthusiasts and modelers primarily located in NW Ohio, NE Indiana and SE Michigan. This year the meet was in Chelsea Michigan. Many of the groups members are also into Small Layouts. At this years event, there were several on display. For more information, visit their Yahoo Group page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The following is a quick overview of what was presented at this years meet. I will be preparing additional articles the next few months on some of the layouts presented.<\/p>\n
