piperford- <br />I would go with the 1/29 scale trains. IMHO the size of the buildings and other non railroad details of the layout will be too small for the great outdoors. Additiionally, all those structures will have to be scratchbuilt and the availability of 1/32 scale autos only exsists in military plastic kits, very limiting. <br /> <br />An occasional piece of 1/20 is not going to make things look awkward. Remember, its your minature world you are creating. If your world has a 1/20 scale locomotive pulling a 1/29 scale line of freight then no one can say a thing, because its your world. <br /> <br />So, I must join Bud, Bman and Vic. We aren't experts by any means, at least I know I am not, but once you have things up and running you will be happy with choosing 1/29. The size, availability and accessories have made it in my opinion, an american standard for outdoor garden railways. <br /> <br />Good Luck <br />Pete
