This is one of the reasons I find G gauge very attractive, but then again, you need to have the space for it. Very cool, do you have any more pictures?

Yes, but I am not sure if lemmy allows multiple uploads. I also posted some stuff to reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/modeltrains/s/ChMSr8e4Lt

As far as I know you can add more pictures in the description of the post. But looks awesome none the less.

Complete newbie question, I only own the 'indoor' scales. How does this work differently than, say HO scale trains? What's stopping the rails from shorting due to rain or what is stopping corrosion from the outdoor environment? I do love the idea of a garden railway.

The equipment is built more enclosed, like no visible gears electronics etc. They can be brought outside for running them, but should not be kept outside permanently. After that session I had to bring them in and let them dry.

The tracks can be left outside. They are made from messing so withstand corrosion ok (but have to be cleaned after some time)

Messing is called brass in english :)
