Reply to "3-Rail Railroading in a FL garage?"

Scott D. posted:

Hello, Everyone,

I am both new to the forum and new to modern O-gauge trains. My wife and I are contemplating a move to central FL to a home we would have custom built. In the central FL home we are contemplating, the only place available to run trains, at least O-gauge trains, would be the garage. Never having lived, full time, in FL, I have not much more than a vague idea of what could be done to run trains in a garage. Can anyone advise me:

(1) Is it possible, or even advisable, to run O-gauge trains in a garage in central FL?

(2) If the answer to (1) is "yes", and given the home is not yet built, what accommodations need to be made for the trains? Do I need to plan for A/C? Or can the trains survive the summer without A/C and without incurring damage (heat, condensing moisture, mildew, etc.)?

(3) What questions have I not asked that I should have asked?

Any help from our FL members would be greatly appreciated.

Scott D.

Scott,

My thread from 2017 when I was moving should provide you with some guidance.
