Am I vote number 2?

I don't have any outside any more. It might be quite a while before I do.

Indoors only

Specifically in the back of an unheated/unconditioned spider-ridden garage and wedged under a storage loft, I have to share it with my big dumb orange oompa-loompa Chow-Chow of a dog and a bunch of junk accumulated over the years, Time for a Garage Sale!

There's no good place in my small area of yard where an outside line would be practical, so its inside for me! Besides I can try my hand at doing it more of a Finescale layout with a "2 foot rule" rather than a "10 foot rule" RR. definetly more challenges and I hope when finished a more interesting layout.[:D]

Hi Rene,
Plans were to extend my line to the basement window this past fall. Unfortuneately it did'nt happen as planned so we will be waiting until Spring now. My goal is to set up storage track and a staging lane for my trains. That way I can make up a train and send it outdoors. Should be fun. Later eh...Brian.

From indoors to outdoors
Posted by Rene Schweitzer on Friday, January 14, 2005 8:24 AM
This poll coincides with the "Indoor-outdoor solutions" article that's in the February issue. Does your railway begin (or end) indoors--and where does it run (basement, garage, etc.)?
