Hi there
I used to have a model railway in OO gauge as a child (some 10 years ago!) and m interest in the hobby was recently rekindled by the Garden Railway series on Discovery Home and Leisure.
I really like the idea of having a model railway outdoors however the space I have available outdoors would make a fairly small 45mm gauge layout.
The same space however would be awesome for OO. However! ISTR when my old layout was in the attic, the track would tarnish if not used for a few days and would have to be cleaned - presumably this problem would be accentuated outdoors.
My question therefore is has anybody here got experience (good or bad) of running OO outdoors? If so, any pointers, gottchas etc. Is there OO track that doesn't mind getting wet?
Many thanks
Alex
