We actually had a similar question some time ago. It'll be ok to put a layout in the garage. I've had a tubular layout in my bedroom with my windows constantly open and have had no problems.

Some things you can do to help if you want, is to insulate as much as possible, run a dehumidifier and or the AC.

BTW, what track are you planning on running?

Unless you seal and dehumidify or air-condition the garage, or use brass or nickel-silver rail, I would not be optimistic.

Hi guys,

  I live in Florida and would like to ask members who live here for advise.  I am planning on putting my first layout in the garage.  This state being so humid, is there anything that I should know?  Is it ok to have a layout in the garage.  Thanks guys
