I've bought some G-scale sized (more or less) cars last year with an idea of putting them on my garden layout. Without much effort my collection grew beyond of what I needed for a start. Currently it consists of six cars.
None of those cars is a cheap toy and all of them were priced at 10 Euro or more. Most of them are die-cast metal with plastic parts and they feel pretty solid. However only one of them is declared weather-proof, so there's no way to know how they will do outdoors.
Today those cars are in pretty much perfect condition... But since I've managed to build my first piece of a G-scale road, it's time to take them outside...

| Trabant 601, Yat Ming |

| Alfa Romeo MiTo, Bburago |

| Opel Blitz, Pola G |

So let me treat them with sun and rain and wind and see how they'll do. Today is the beginning of their outdoor test and in 100 days I'm going to check on them. Let's see which ones turn out capable of being a part of an outdoor layout...
...and as soon as I took them outside it started raining pretty heavily. I guess the test is on then. Good luck, my cars!
