Hello I am new to G scale trains.
My landlord told me about this site... I believe he frequents here also.
I bought a Bachmann Fastmail trainset at a garage sale about 6 months ago. before that I was building a H.O. scale layout of Disneyland.
I am trying to put the Bachmann layout outside But many people have told me the track wont last and will rust. I live in S. Calif.
It did rust well what track I have I still need Plenty more track But I am Very limited on my funds right now.
I tried a experiment today.... I took some Gloss varnish water based and painted it on a track let it dry and sanded it lightly, I tested the engine and it seamed to work fine.
My question is can I do this to the track outside with a varnish that wont come off with water? Has anyone else tried this?
Please Help
Thanks Mitch
