Like it a lot Erik-Jan! Does it stay whole day and night outside? I can imagen that the weather in our countries isn't the best for that kind of work!

[Erik-Jan]

It stay outside day and night summer and winter. Only some of the houses have been moved inside. To protect them from fireworks and winter storms.. and the engines and wagons ofcourse only go outside for driving. They are safely stored inside

[Peter]

And the tracks are they protectec againts the water?

[Erik-Jan]

the tracks are special. they are made for outside .. in fact lgb stands for lehmans garten bahn.. (lehmans garden track) it is weather resistand and very strong. i can stand on it without damaging it.
