With my largescale layout outdoors, i built from a discarded pool sides,a train house that was over eight feet long. It had two tracks,with a switch to power both tracks, on the outside wall. I had this arrangement for thirteen years.It stayed in the housing summer and winter, never had any power problems. <br />I made the roof hinged,so that i can get at the train if needed. At first,i added doors with a lock,but after a while i didnt even lock the doors.Being fortunate no <br />one ever stole anything from me. Now i sold everything,and i have a HO layout <br />34 inches off the ground,three loops, and its sixze is 48" x 30 feet. The first 4'x8' <br />is enclosed with plexiglass,with the top and front panel removable. This is where i park the locos and cars ,when not in use. Under the layout in a pullout drawer are my power packs. This is my thing since may 2004,and i never enjoyed this hobby as much i do now. <br /> <br />p.s. my g scale layout was also 34" off the ground (too old to kneel)
