Im new to actuallly trying to build a garden railway I want to use 1:32

scale because of my lack of space (110 in by 200in) for a logging company what do i do

You could use G or alternatively Bachmann On30  - nice big models full of character , suited to tight curves and small spaces

i agree dave.

If you decide to try the Bachmann On30 trains, be aware that most HO scale track on which they run is not weatherproof and is intended for indoor use only.  Perhaps someone on this forum has found an HO track that can be used outdoors and will provide a link to where it can be purchased.

Peco makes track which is UV stable and weatherproof. It can be found at www.lgbpola.com. It is product #PEC 552-5001, and it is under the new products menu.

Peco outdoor track is a good bet - similar quality to theur G track which I have used outdoors for 10 years , relaid twice too  and in flextrack is  a good looking product.

In the UK outdoor HO/OO is common and  Peco have been supplying it for many years.

US source for track and switches  36 inches pack of 12 $92   The big plus is it is ON30 not OO so will look  correct

They also stock the ON30 turnouts at $26

It might not seem cheap but this stuff will look good , require minimal maintenance and last for years.
