Outdoor O Scale? | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Jack Swan5010OGR Forum Member

It seems every time I make a track plan my basement shrinks. I am wondering how feasible outdoor o scale trains are. I know Atlas track it appropriate for that application. I think it would be cool to run some long trains outside, but it seems pretty risky too. Any experienced outdoor o scalers willing to share?

Hi Jack:

Check out this YT Channel: He has over 15 videos on how to built an O Scale Layout Outside.

This layout is in Southern California. His channel is very interactive.

Here is a link to the G&O Story on this forum. O scale outdoors is both feasible and fun.

That video is just plain cool. I would love to build something like that.
