I don't no about anyone else ,but if your going to run a train outdoors without a roof there is is weather to contend with. I was looking through the past posts and noticed a lot of people did not like the new bright battery operated trains. I've had new bright since 1989 and found them perfect for the outdoors. The engines do need weight added to them to attempt any type of grade. The c-cell batteries can be replaced with ni-cad to reduce tender weight. <br /> Track power is kind of shakey. A little moisture and your chasing lines and replacing fuses. I've actually ran mine in the rain with no problems. The track is plastic. Even the brass track works if no power is applied. With all the R/C stuff this is the perfect way to control your line. From the comfort of my lawn chair I can control the train, switches, and couplers. I also have a budget. I will trade a little kitbash work for the extra money. <br /> I opt for battery over track power in the garden. R.R.M.
