how tough is 00 gauge track?

Im planning on building a ountdoors section of 00 gauge track, but before i continue planning i decided to ask the experts ( you ) how tough the track is... replacing the track every 2 months dosent sound inviting...

1) does it rust / oxidise if it gets wet... i probably wont run the trains if its raining, but if its rusted it will be a pain...

2) how does it cope with temperature change

3) if its damp (not floded, but just wet) will it still be safe to run a dry train accross (assuming that it has stopped raining)

thanks, hopefully ill post the pics in a few months (years) time.

Joe, Since you are in UK it would be better to ask this question on uk.rec.models.rail there is at least one modeller on there who operates a large 00 track in his garden. He also has a website,
