Thanks for replying. To answer your questions:<br />1.I'll probably just run 1 engine with a few cars. The first one I bought on e-bay ran until I put it on the track and then it wouldn't move. So I took it apart to see if I could figure out what was wrong. After that it would run at all :-). I bought another one which works but i'm not sure how many cars it will pull, especially since the the track will have a little slope to it.<br />2. We don't have to worry about hurricanes here, maybe an occassional tornado. The track is being built on our private campsite in a campground in North Central Ohio. We have all kinds a weather here 80's to 90's in the summer to below 0 in the winter. Winter will have snow anywhere from a couple inches to a couple feet during a season. We also usually get at least one good ice storm each season. The campground basically shuts down from early December until March. <br />3. We will bring the train inside when not in use. I plan to bring in my buildings in the off season and cover anything that's fragile and can't be moved. The railroad is in early stages of construction so my pictures won't show much. It is in an area with lot's of tall tress mostly oak, maple and cherry. In the fall we battle a lot of leaves. The area is sloped but I plan to get the track to just a sligh slope by building a rock mountain (with waterfall), wooden trestle, concrete arched bridges, etc.
