I would say, "Use any scale outdoors," albiet be prepared to deal with and solve unique problems involved for each guage. <br /> <br />N is tiny and thus not very easy to maintain. The small parts would not work well with the dirt grim and moisture, but if you can solve this...go for it. <br /> <br />HO is subject to the same problems, but I think it would be slightly eaiser. Most plastics used in these smaller scales is not suitable for outdoor use. Even the best "outdoor" stuff fades and will eventually decompose. <br /> <br />O and S are the same but have much more in common with Large Scale. <br /> <br />G is designed, it seems, for the outdoors; hence the least amount of extraordinary problems to solve. <br /> <br />Now, if only we could get the manufacturers to provide the same diversity of the small scales within the scope of the Large!!!!
