[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by vsmith Larry, Be carefull with HO scale track outside. Derailing is extremly easy to do. Are you planning on using ready made flex-track or handlaying. Try to get the largest rail you can, less problems with derailing and easier to keep level. Saw some Gn15 at the Ozark Miniatures booth at the QM show, really cool stuff. Was told to keep track level as possible if installing outside and to paint all plastic ties to help sheild from UV breakdown. Good Luck, keep us informed on progress.[8D] [/quote]Vic, The Gn15 you saw at the Ozark Miniatures booth was most likely the old Herb Deeks line now produced by OM, I have two sets. Each set contains a model of one battery powered mine loco and 3 four wheel mine cars, a cheap transformer and two figures. I will be hand laying my track in places that show and using HO flex track in hidden areas. Painting the ties is a good idea and I think I will also bury them in sand ballast. My track is going on the oldest part of the layout built with flat boards for roadbed so the small track should stay level.....I hope. The piggy-back idea has me intrigued so I'm trying to find a way to incorporate this into my overall plan. Hav'n fun.....OLD DAD
