What do I do? What I'm told by SWMBO

I'd agree with that. One thing that is quite different between the garden and indoors, to my mind at least, is that the outdoors lets you set a railway in a scene, rather than building the scene around the railway. I would never use set track inside, but use it widely outside both for practical reasons and because, quite frankly, winding in and out of flowers and fruit trees it looks pretty good. I view my garden railway as just that, a railway which happens to be in a garden rather than running through the countryside, where as the N scale is a model of a railway.
The set track, btw, is LGB and Piko both of which survive fine in our climate. The flextrack, what there is of it, is something sold by a local Australia distributor; where he get it I have no idea!
