I want to get a battery operated G scale for outdoors in Texas(lots of sun). Any suggestions on a starter set or brand I should go with ?
Track...Engine...cars..controller.

I am not scared of spending $$$ on it....just want quality that will last and be able to expand into a bigger system down the road

WOW thanks for all the information. It sounds like I should look at battery. I need a train and track that will take the Texas heat...Any suggestions?

So would y'all suggest I go with LGB? Any sets you would suggest?

I am a bit confused....Is there something larger than G Scale......What is the best for outdoors? My son is only 2, So I could easily see going north of $10,000 in 10 years

I want to start off small($500) on a G scale outdoor train for me and my son to grow over the years. The intent is to have a multi line couple thousand dollar set up down the road. I live in Texas where we get little snow....Yet it get pretty hot. What are my best options from train & Track?
