Thanks everyone for your help and input.

As recommended, I went for Peco code 100 track and Electrofrog points which work a treat.

The project has developed quite a bit since the last photo.

Points are points. They work equally well indoors or out - but be prepared to do a bit more maintenance outdoors, removing garden detritus, oxidised deposits and so on. Sitting in ponded water is also unlikely to help their conductivity in the way you are used to. Elsewhere I know of a lady who has a very large OO layout outdoors and has run it successfully for many years - subject to weather conditions on the day. Peco Electrofrog points are generally recommended for DCC layouts, and these benefit from a bit of modification. This chap's notes at http://www.brian-lam....co.uk/DCC.htm# are well worth reading and absorbing. He posts on RMWeb, by the way.

Hi Ian

Thanks for your help and I will probably go for the electrofrog points.

I have started a 00 gauge outdoors railway which will be a two line oval in DCC. I have thought about joining the two lines with points, but am not sure about how well points would work outside with the dirt etc. has anyone tried points in 00 outside? If so, do they work well and do you have any problems? I am using Peco code 100 lines and could anyone recommend Peco points for outdoor DCC.

Attached is a photo of the current development of the track.
