Now THIS is a model railroad

In order to run large scale outside with much success, you need to go battery and R/C. There's a lotta cost involved there. Some say you can do it "reasonably", but for me, there's a lotta cost involved. I have everything to set up a small track powered indoor layout and a small/micro layout can be a lotta fun if done right. I would love to do one outside, but then, I would be dumping money into another hobby when I cannot afford the one I have. As it is with the indoor layout, I have everything, except somewhere to do it and that's going to change.
