[quote user="vsmith"] <p><span class="smiley">[#welcome]</span></p><p>Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but while the trains are A-OK outdoors, that track is crap! </p><p>Not designed for outdoor use, its only real use is for indoor xmas tree setups. Even if your running batteries and RC, it will rust into nothingness in a matter of months outdoors, maybe sooner.</p><p>Best bet is to look for brass track by LGB, USA trains or Aristo Craft trains, this track is designed for outdoor use and will last for years. </p><p>Keep the straight peices, use them for storage or display track, sell the rest on Ebay, use the proceeds as starter money for the brass stuff. If your going battery, then brass is the most cost effective to use.</p><p>Good Luck</p><p>[/quote]</p><p><span class="smiley">[#welcome]</span> Vic, is right on about the Bmann track, it is junk! If you want to test it sent just a piece of it out side for 6 months and you will find out. </p><p>I think I have some Bmann track in the gargage.....never used. Used indoors only! And check your wheels to make sure there metal and not plastic! Plastic wheels are bad for the track. Please ask any questions!!!! We are here to help. <span class="smiley">[:)]</span></p>
