What scale can/should I use outdoors

HO track was used in England for a big garden RR-Brian Burchell, as I recall. He used concrete bases, track power, and had a totally enclosed garden to control detrius. Not too much sun there, though. He finally switched to "G", i'm told. But after many years. <br />O scale has also been used, and was featured in both Garden Rwys and Model RR magazine earlier this year, in a story on a combined indoor/outdoor RR. We have a couple of "O" enthusiasts here in Puget Sound too. <br />To avoid UV damage, you can always paint the track ties and bring rolling stock indoors after sessions. Even at Disneyland, I'm told, the plastic buildings sitting outdoors need to be repainted every year! Good latex house paine should work fine.
