Good sources of information include doing an internet search for O Scale Outdoor Railroad and do the same search on U-Tube.  There is a wealth of information out there.  Many considerations will be covered.

In Arizona one big consideration is expansion and contraction of the track given our wide variation in temperatures.

Good Luck and let us know your experience.

Remember it is marked UV resistant, NOT UV Proof. There was a guy named David Vergun (I think) from Virginia that ran outside (I think battery power). He posted here using his name for a while, and then changed his sign in. Not sure if he still posts or not, but there might be some posts around under his name. Nice fellow and had some interesting posts.

The G&O Garden Railroad has used Atlas 3-rail track outdoors for 10 years.  It has held up very well in direct sunlight.  The G&O is in the San Francisco Bay Area so the climate is similar to many of Australia's coastal climates.  I have visited Australia 4 times.

The G&O does not use the Atlas switch machines.  The display's 25 switches are thrown by hand.  The Atlas switch machines are not UV resistant and they do rust in the rain.  

Here is link to the G&O Story on this forum:
