I love your outdoor layout! I’m considering building one of my own. SoundTraxx’s Blunami Bluetooth decides would serve you very well. They have a range of ~74’.

Please keep me posted on video updates

Awesome video

[@johnknippenberg-LandmarkYards]

Very cool, I don't think I've seen an outdoor HO layout before.

[@blakrootz]

Thank you. It took a year of planning and lots of research before I began.

Great vidio, so your portals need to be coated. I use a spray can urethane matt with uv protectant , use to or three coat all a round to make a good seal. They dont survive outdoor untreated. Thanks for the morning coffee...

[@blakrootz]

Thank you for that recommendation. Did you buy it from home depot or Lowes...and how much was it?

[@caseyvillemodelrailroad3877]

Hi, home depo i think , any where there is a big selection of rattle can spray paints should have it for around 15 can. Is what i payed. Spray it on anything out side thats ceramic in nature . Got to keep out the rain.Thanks for the morning coffee...

who amazing

[@blakrootz]

Thank you

[@darnezzyd]

yup I would for sure extend that. less fuss cleaning around the fruit tree.

[@blakrootz]

That means I need to order more and delay the video a bit, but your response makes plenty of sense on why it should be longer. Thanks.
