Good luck with running outdoors. Been done may times before in 16.5mm gauge so it definitely can work. Anyone who told you it couldn't is definitely not an expert.
However I abandoned thoughts of using HO outdoors primarily because of my experience with the trains being blown onto the ground with passing thermals. I went to O gauge and so far they have stayed on the track.
Even in O gauge I use some oil to improve reliability with small locos. The tradeoff as always is a bit more wheel cleaning.
The PA's look great dressed up as SAR 900's.

Hi, my Tehachapi loop module tunnel is coming slowly, have been working on the second lower track module that slides into the tunnel module,, nearly there.
The unthinkable happened when I was screwing the right side ply on and sanding the top of the ply with an electric sander the plaster cutting on the right side came off.
Just as well in one full piece so I was able to glue the plaster back in with wood glue, before that happened I took the advantage and put in one bus wire, hidden now under the plaster, will have to drill a hole in the tunnel mouth for the wire on both sides.
It is taking too long working on the scenery, not going to be doing any scenery cutting on the other side of tunnel 9, will finish the scenery once all the track decking is finished and the first train is running.




I am just about there with the big marathon effort changing all the pics over to Free Rails gallery folder, just as well as I noticed in another folder I downloaded from image shank disappeared no idea what the pics were.
One post to change in this garden railway thread.
