After moving 4 times in 4 years, I find myself with a house. Unfortunately,
there is not enough room in the house or garage for a lego train setup. But I
do have a large, fenced in back yard with lots of trees. So then, is it
possible to weatherize a lego train and run it outdoors? That is, can I a lay a
track and leave it outside? I am in northern California and do not have to
contend with snow, but it rains quite a bit in the winter.
