I am also considering putting using O gauge outside. I really want to put a train in my garden but I fear my budget is not really large enough to support G scale. It seem the prices of O Gauge are much more reasoniable when compared to prices of the cost of G Scale locomotives, rolling stock and scenary . I looked into it at my local O Gauge hobby shop, even he doesn't support the ideal as to using O Guage outdoors, but he recommended I use the Altas brass Track designed to be used outdoors, with UV plastic ties. He also said Gargraves stainless has wooden ties, which probably only last a season or two. The problem I have is that I would feel left out of the Mainstream of Garden Railroaders, who I have learned so much from reading things on this site, as well as Mylargescale Road and Large Scale online. Best of Luck on your decision but It looks to me that there is not to much support for someones like us, who are considering using O Gauge outdoors, like there is for O guage indoor users or Garden Railroaders using G Scale.
