[quote user="altterrain"] <p>There is a caveat to your experiment Junnie. It is not your typical garden railway installation where it would be on the ground and ballasted - a far more humid environment than sitting on elevated wood decking.</p><p>-Brian [/quote]</p><p>Brian,</p><p>In a previous post, I provided the following weather information for my home near Monterey, California:</p><p><em>"Based on historical weather data, it rains an average of 73 days per year in Monterey. However, more significant than the rain, is the coastal fog that rolls in an average of 156 days per year!</em></p><p><em>Since the rainy season is from November through April and the foggy period is from May through October, the Bachmann track could be exposed to moisture for 229 days each year!"</em></p><p>As you can see from the above weather data, my layout is in a very "humid environment."</p><p>This time of the year, because of the fog bank that moves in each night, there is visible moisture on the track from 10 pm each evening to 9 am the following morning.</p><p>Junnie</p>
