Reply to "O gauge layouts outdoors, anybody considering or doing it?"

I built an outdoor O layout a few years ago.  3 loops, Atlas track.

One piece of advice:  I should have soldered the track joiners.  When winter in CT is over, I have to work for a while to make all the connections work again.   Problem is that the joiners get corroded where they meet the track sections.  Had I soldered then joints when new, it would have been easy.  Now I would have to take the track apart, clean the ends, add joiners and solder while clean.  Joints won't solder once a layer of corrosion is on them.

Other than  that, the trains run great outside!  Mostly MTH DCS running...
