I'm a 100% newbie to the world of trains. I've thought about building my own train "world" but my home definitely does not have the room. Therefore the idea and dream died right there. Then today I was watching the DIY channel and saw a quick story about an individual who created a beautiful train "world".... outdoors! I couldn't believe my eyes! After a quick search on the net, I find myself here. I'm skeptical about the whole idea. Why? Because I live in Houston where 100% humidity kills everything from May thru November. How can a garden railway survive in this type of heat, not to mention the rain as well? I'm talking about the temperature AND humidity above 95 degrees for 4-5 months straight day after day after day! Not only the trains and tracks, but what about the buildings, people, etc.?[?] If I'm going to even think about moving to the next step of research, I thought I'd get some expert advice from this website. Please feel free to bombard me with any and all information that will convince me that this can be done (or not done) here in Houston, Texas. I would rather know up front, then to move forward, build a beautiful garden railway, and then watch the Houston sun and humidity destroy it in three days! <br /> <br />All info, opinions, etc., are greatly appreciated.[?]
