How to wire my LGB layout outdoors, track power mostly
Posted by railroader21 on Friday, October 3, 2008 7:22 PM

Hi everyone, I was thinking about buying the outdoor tranformer from LGB.  I want to power my layout from outside.  If I buy the outdoor transformer will it be able to get wet and covered in snow and stuff like that.  Can I still use LGB jumbo wires to power the track or do I need to have special wires.  Any help or links to products would be greatly appreciated
