I would like to start a garden railway system and need to know if the indoor and outdoor track the same? If not where can i shop for the outdoor track? (Large scale)
No it is different. Bachmann track would not be suited for outdoor use and should only be used indoors. Aristocraft and USA Trains make outdoor track in brass and stainless steel.

Aristo-Craft has also reintroduced G gauge track with aluminum rail which is intended primarily for battery powered trains but works just fine with dc and
LGB, Lionel and other G gauge track that you might across in used condition is actually dual purpose - it can be used outdoors or indoors.
