Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it, but I have a recent 5 year anniversary video that has more additions to the layout. Be sure to check it out when u get a chance.😁
Hi, I’m Alex from Mexico City. Your backyard ho trains are very wondefull. Since soñé Years ago I want to do the same in My garden but with mexican routs but I have so many doubs about the wood at exterior. Can you Yelp me? Beat regards Alex
Hello Alex, You must use pressure treated wood. It can survive many elements such as rain, snow, heat, hail, fog, etc. I use PECO Code 100 Nickel Silver track it is rust proof. I don't use ballast, instead I use roofing paper and roofing adhesive. Ballast is not good outside too messy and breaks up easy due to weather.
No, after the rain clears and is completely dry, I then go out and clean the trackway before the run. Here is a video I did about rain on the layout. Hope this helps. th-cam.com/video/fOKF3TqwIHQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=MYUxtkqc7Vc0I6il
When it is time to run I usually do all my cleaning the day before. Cleaning can be a full day or a couple of hours, just depends on the weather and time passed from the last run.
So cool to see ...

Epic!

will the railway be broken because of rain?
No, after the rain clears and is completely dry, I then go out and clean the trackway before the run. Here is a video I did about rain on the layout. Hope this helps.

What's the maintenance like?

Good
