Hi,
I’m finding that I don’t run my trains very often unless I plan on spending at least an hour out side. You could say that I’m often too lazy to take the 15 minutes required to walk back and forth to my house where my trains are stored. Of course, then I need to spend another 15 minutes putting them away afterwards.
I understand that I have the option of placing several trains on a kart and keeping the kart in the garage. In that way, only two or three trips would be required.
One option I don’t have is running the trains into my garage and storing them there. That just won’t work.
What I would like to do is store the train/cars out of doors when the weather permits and no rain is in the forecast. I would keep them in the shade, parked on top of an elevated structure (table made from wood). I would also keep a cover over the cars and table so that the dew wouldn’t get to them. Is there a problem with this or does more than a few degrees change in temperature hurt the trains. I run all battery power if this helps.
I know some people store their trains in a garage or shed. The only difference in that from storing them on the outdoor table would be that the temperature change would be a little more. Any advice would be appreciated. I would really like to get the trains in a position where I could just turn them on and start running.
