Hi guys - Chrisf1961 - 05-11-2014
Hi names Chris,dad to my son who is Ben hes 8 and Autistic,we love our trains here in Scotland. We have loads of tracks etc engines here and im looking to build an outdoor railway for him up here ...always wanted to do it,i was going to go for G scale ( we had the Bachmann Thomas Annie Clarabel set once in G scale but realised it would cost so much to build it in this ) so now have realised that we have so much trackmaster here,it needs to get outdoors and being plastic im sure it could stand the Scottish weather!

welcome to the site!! looking forward to hearing about and seeing your progress on the outdoor layout. the trackmaster track should be fine outdoors. the only thing that comes to mind is a metal pin that holds the switch in a points set that will maybe rust over time, but thatd be easy enough to replace when the time comes.
