J.R.MITICH James, I was very interested in your artical,for i have a HO layout outdoors.I started in may of 2004. It stands 34" off the ground,and now it is complete with some scenery required. I see your from california,here in new york,it seldom goes higher than 82 degrees. Every one talks about U.V.my tracks are as good as the day i started. My original layout outdoors was 4'x8', I added 12" walls of plexiglass around the perimiter,then 2 pcs of plexiglass 4'x4' as a cover over the layout. In the" box" i keep my power supply,all my rolling stock,and my locomotives. YES! they are outdoors now for the past eight months, and they all preform as original. Now i added another 4'x8' layout without the plexiglass, and then extended it with a 12" wide double loop x 24'. I was told by the majority that it would not work,but i figured that it was worth my while to try it for myself. I think the weather by you would be alright for such a project.Put a length of track high on a roof for a couple of weeks and see if it distorts. For protection i cover the layout with a vinyl tarp,only when the forecast shows rain.We recently had the temperature go down to 8 degrees,and the following morning all the locos started and ran. James i had large scale trains for 13 years,and now with my HO ,i have enjoyed this hobby more than ever. When the weather is right ,i often put six hrs. a day into it ,it also helps that iam retired. If you are interested and need more info.,e-mail me ,so we can talk direct. jabayshore@aol.com I hope this is more positive to your way of thinking-enjoy
