Anyone. We’re extending our O gauge system to loop around the garden and back into the house. What kind of three rail track is best for outdoor operation?
I would look into Atlas track.
Plastic ties and nickel silver rails.
Ditto on Atlas. If you plan on any turnouts they would have to be converted to pneumatic or a weather sealed electric switch motor.
You can also check out Scale Trax by MTH.
You also might want to check out Gargraves O track they have wood or plastic ties. They have excellent customer service, just give them a call and they will give you their thoughts.

I’d be afraid my neighbor’s dogs and cats would attack mine … LOL . Lord if you’d see how careful I am on just transporting my engines from house to car … you’d understand . [:o)]
Yea, Atlas ties are UV resistant. Gargraves with stainless rail is another one to consider. Less joints to worry about which can be a problem outdoors.
