It's possible and can work well - you do need to do a lot more ground work than you would for large scale though. One layout I've seen in a magazine over here used reinforced concrete beams as the core of the structure (the builder cast concrete pillars with a piece of rebar in them using a cardboard mould, then cast a beam using wood shuttering and sand (again, with a piece of rebar as the core). The whole thing then had a layer of "rubbercrete" (concrete made with rubber granules rather than sand) laid on top to allow track pins to be knocked in. Be prepared to have to do a lot more maintainance than you need for larger scale as any obstruction on the rails will cause derailments rather than being knocked aside. Personally I keep the HO indoors and run G scale outside, the price of a complete train consist in G isn't really that much higher than for HO (a HO intermodal train will cost you roughly as much as a G scale branchline passenger train).
