Would it be good to have a model railway in my greenhouse?
I plan to construct it ‘O’ gauge and build an engine to run very slowly so it completes a circuit about every hour. The plant pots would run on the wagons. Then all the plants would get an even amount of light during the day.
Even with the best site for my greenhouse about half of it is in deep shade the rest in bright sun.
Greenhouses tend to be very humid, and model railroad equipment has a lot of very small electrical and electronic components. If you do this with standard O gauge equipment, you should be prepared to frequently replace equipment that has failed due to corrosion.
You would probably do better with model railroad equipment that is designed for outdoor use. This is typically larger than O scale, but this would also be an advantage for you if you intend to have this train pull cars loaded with potted plants.
