Garden Railroading in the Pacific North West (RAIN!)

[Capt. Grimek]

Thanks Brian for the link. That's just what I'm looking for.

What's a little rain?

I ran over at Dave Goodson's in early April.   I wimped out after 7 hours in the rain and 40 degrees.   What a blast!

Apparently Washington doesn't have a monopoly on rain, as we also ran over at Richard Smith's Port Orford Coast RR in Oregon.

I'd contact the guys in your area who know how to deal with that lack of sunshine -

They'll be hosting the national convention in two years.

Please forgive me if this question has been asked many times before. I've tried searching with no luck.
I live in Washington State. It rains and blows most of the year here. How do folks in such climates (British Isles) operate comfortably? Central Control under a roof? I'm an indoor HO guy, so I haven't read much
at all about outdoor layouts but would like to consider something in the wife's garden.
Can anyone point me to basic tips/links regarding dealing with rain almost ALL the time, equipment wise
and physical comfort wise? In a raincoat around here I'd be good for 15 minutes max!

Thanks very much.
