General Basic Question

[traindaddy1]

Hello:  I am not a Garden Railroad person, only an indoor Lionel train guy who has a question for you. What do you do to your layout/rolling stock when it rains?    Just curious! Many thanks.

i made a special 4 wheel cart to take my engines and rolling stock in and out of the basement, my basement door is ground level , this works for me. the cart holds 2 engines and 12 cars.  i don't keep them out all the time. ben

Quite a few Large Scalers, including us, have storage/staging areas inside the house or some outbuilding.

The shed works for me!

Some guys even have lines that run into their garages or basements.

To ALL:       It must certainly be  nice to have the space and good fortune to be able to run a Garden Railroad.  For me, being retired and "older", I can only dream and admire your layouts. (ie., unless I win the lottery and shed twenty years) Many thanks for the info.

I watch them get wet, while I try to stay dry while running my trains outdoors.

The handbuilt rolling stock and the engines get brought inside.  The rest of it just gets another dose of "natural weathering"
