Sure you can. Its hard to find a logging line around that doesn't have a Bachmann Shay running on it -

Hi, from West Texas, YES we run our Bac. outside.  I have Big Haulers an Annie's and a 3 truck shay all on Airwire and battery.  Don't leave them out all time, just when I run usually on Saturdays.  I take most of my buildings in during the winter but still run trains if it's not too cold.

Being new to garden railroading, I'm not sure on this, but weather permitting can a Bachmann Locomotive be used in an outdoor garden RR?? Will greatly appreciate your thoughts and comments.
