I work for a company that is based in Fresno and have friends there. The extremes of heat and cold will help make kinks in your track. You probably cannot leave large enough gaps to avoid kinks so be sure not to make long straight runs, but break them up with s curves. A small scale layout will need to be up much closer to eye level to appreciate the detail and running gear. I'd use a larger scale. Maybe you could go to narrow gauge on HO track, does that make it On3? I have visited John Sigurdson's famous outdoor O scale layout and it is reasonable viewing/appearance with track on the ground. I would not go smaller than O on the ground. If you run the track around the fence at 5 foot, that would work well. Saw an article years ago in MR where that is what someone did, and he made inexpensive covers of wood frames and canvas that flipped up over the outer edge of the "shelf" on the fence to cover the track when not in use. Cuts down on cleaning, damage, wear from the elements. Regards, Greg
