O Scale OutdoorsFrequently Asked Questions |
What's a garden railway? | It's an outdoor model train layout. For some of us, that means a layout complete with buildings and people and tiny plants, perhaps meant to be a scale model of a specific fullsize railroad. For others of us, it's a track going through a full-size garden. |
What kind of track do you use? | Paul and Chuck have Gargraves stainless steel track in their outdoor layouts. |
Are the ties U-V resistant? | Probably not. Chuck taped the tops of the rails and spray-painted the ties. Paul keeps his track covered. |
What happens when it rains? | Everything on the layout gets wet, and therefore clean. O-scale trains are not designed to get wet. We store our trains indoors when we're not running them but leave track, buildings, and, of course, plants outdoors. |
Do you bring it all indoors for the winter? | No. The track stays outdoors all year long. |
