It is/will be Your Layout. I only offer information based upon experience, my own and other Large scale & O scale enthusiests who run trains outdoors.
Your choice to run indoor track, outdoors, IMHO, is a mistake and you will be replacing it with track made to be used outdoors. You need to consider UV Stability & corrosion of the track & connections, regardless whether you live in Las Vegas or Death Valley, unless you plan on taking the track up and putting it back out every time you chose to run your train.
But in the end it will be your layout and whatever you choose to do, is what it's about in the long run.
Happy Rails!

Hello & Welcome to the Forum!
I am not quite certain of your "Garden Train" plans. Are you speaking of running O Scale or Large Scale outdoors?
If you are considering Outdoor O, your track should be your first concern. The normal tin track used for O scale is not adequate and will quickly become rusted junk. You will need to purchase stainless steel or brass track with UV resistant ties.
Power? as much as you can afford to purchase.
Feeder lines? take a voltage tester, go around the track and look for voltage drop, that's where you'll need a feeder.
O Scale in the Garden is quite common in England/Great Britan, you might want to look up Brit sites to check out what done over the pond, if you plan on Outdoor O.
If you are going large scale, all the same applies...
Happy Rails!

I don't know if you are on Facebook, but there are several O Gauge/Scale sales groups there.
You might try Mercari, l have sold both O & G scale trains there.
IF all else fails, the Evil Bayou hunt....

Hello & Welcome to the Forum, Mike!
It's not often we encounter FineScale Trains and it's nice to see your pic's & video's.
l hope you'll keep us updated with your layout.
l like seeing your Large Scale Trains too, that's one we also have in common.
Happy Rails!

A note on the MPC era whisteling tenders.
It is wise to replace the insulating foam underneath the sound board in the tender.
Because of aging the foam will deteriorate and allow the board to short out on the frame.
This can be the cause of non working whisteling tenders.
I cut a piece from an egg carton top to replace the worn out foam in the one l had, it worked perfectly.
Happy Rails!
