Hello Everyone, I freely admit that I do not know the first thing about running trains out doors. While I find garden railways to be facinating and wouldn't mind having one, my less than green thumb kind of iksnays that project. (I couldn't even grow my bean plant in kindergarden) But I am looking to my outdoor space as a possibility for my indoor woes, please feel free to comment, poke holes, and generaly show flaws in logic with this Idea. In my many contortions of trying to build an HO model railraod, I have recently started looking into the possibility of building an elevated line outdoors,(Out of structural steel or masonry) as my indoor space barely permits my current 4X6 foot operation. While this line will be built more along the lines of a traditional indoor layout with outside hardy materials, what kind of steps am I going to have to take in regard to wiring to maintain suitible conductivity, with HO track out doors. (Is an elevated HO layout outdoors even feasable?)Obviosly I would have to manufacture some kind of "Basket" to hold the DCC gear and take it inside between operating sessions. I am presently using an older Digitrax Empire Builder with an Extra DT300 Throttle. I would appreciate any insights you out door Garden Railroad people have that could help with my Indoor-meets- Garden railroad. Sincerely, James R. Mitich
