All the trains are packed and will be so for awhile, as the basement repainting gets underway. It was such a beautiful day outside yesterday, I was tempted to set up some trains in the back yard. Just for the day. I have rubber roadbed that attaches to the O-gauge tubular track, so risks of dirt, grass, etc. might be minimized. I didn't do it, but I was tempted. Has anyone done that? Of course, it would have to be a nice day, and only a temporary arrangement.
I got the idea partly from seeing layouts on the floor of train shows, just for a day or two.
