Eric, is this hard earned experence?
Please, share the details. I'd think that they would be OK outside...what
happenes? do they rust? I don't think that they'd melt/distort too much over
a year or so...Anyone got any real experence?
All that I have read on garden railways in OO and so on use plastic/nickle
silver track...and I don't know what the conductor part of the lego rail is
made of.
(I know the plastic is ABS with a UV stabalizer...I'd expect it to last 5 or so
years outside under moderate sunshine)
