blid Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Does anyone have experience of, or heard of an O-gauge outdoor layout? Successful or unsuccessful. Are there O-gauge tracks suitable for outdoors? 3-rail or 2-rail. The material used for tracks might be able to withstand sun and rain, but electrical turnouts are a problem I guess. Any comments are appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry B44 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Big article in GR years back about one. You could do two track, SSVR makes it in O gauge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blid Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 Thank you so much for these tips!The reason I’m asking is that there are some engines and trains I would really like to have, but they are only available in O-gauge. With my layout it shouldn’t be any problems replacing a loop of LGB track for O-gauge. I will probably put the LGB tracks back after a week or two. Well, that is if I ever get those engines and trains – but it is doable. Shipping the stuff over here is a totally different matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blid Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 I have googled SSVR O-gauge but no hits. GarGraves Phantom with Plastic Ties seems to be a good choice for 3-rail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry B44 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 SSVR sells dual gauge ties also, can have it set up to run either one. Might have switches also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry B44 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Sunset Valley does have dual gauge ties and switches. http://www.sunsetvalleyrailroad.com/track---rail.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
