I live in Houston, Texas and am interested in building a train track outside for my son (and for me). I was planning on placing the track on top of landscape timbers (joined together) that I can get at Lowes/Home Depot inexpensively. (I know some of you purists are probably cringing at this notion, but I thought it would give me a secure base for the track). My question is whether I need to use "G' gauge track or if I can use something smaller. The "G" scale trains I saw at my train store are lot bigger than I think would look good in the space I was planning on using. I have an HO track and trains inside the house and I think this would look good outside, but I am not sure about durability etc. I would like to hear from others about their experiences. Thanks
