With how big G scale is you can easily fit in some lithium batteries and run off that with radio control. Costs more but it saves the headache of trying to make sure there aren't any dead spots or shorts.

i was really surprised that the track kept working great from Thanksgiving through New Years, there was one section that would get some sap on it from the tree but just a quick wipe with scotch-brite was all it took. also the track survived 80+ MPH winds on two occasions different storms, and some heavy rain. i did have to re-ballast a few spots after the rain. one bridge almost blew into the cove but i rescued it. trains are put away for now and i have a bigger track plan for next year for the garden railroad. we will be starting an O scale narrow gauge indoor layout too.

Looks great!

Thanks. I haven’t done anything due to Covid I have stayed away because most of our members are pretty old and in the high risk zone but they have done a great job.

Neo, look up Riverbend RV Resort in LaBelle, FL. The residents have a large garden railway set up in the park.

Our 1930's South Alabama logging layout is finally finished and on display at Mcwane Center in Birmingham. This is one of five layouts making up The Magic of Model Trains display by The Wrecking Crew.
