Model railroading has a new trend that involves using sturdy supplies and equipment that will withstand the outside elements. These outside layouts are called “garden railroads” as they are often worked into a garden setting with the garden becoming part of the scenery.
Basically it is the same idea as an indoor railroad but there can be a few differences from the design point of view.
First of all, they must be rigorous enough to endure the weather and withstand long term use. If you are lucky enough to have a favorable climate, your railroad could run for most of the year. In harsher climates, you may only be able to run it for a few months, storing it the rest of the time.
