Are those rails from another brand? 

Amazing video!

I've never understood Lego + outdoors, and I never will.

Really Nice. So many straight tracks.

Then you didn't drive an offroad Buggy with the Buggy motors outside in the snow yet.

Like it, looks like a scene through a frozen valley.

Non, I used to when I was a student.  The style of backyard fence, telephone poles and amount of snow in your video looked familiar.  You're getting some good mileage out of your train set.

It's fun out there in the snow.

This makes me want to build a train car that say a steam engine would pull and have a camera mounted on top for a third person view of the train. Maybe have it offset so you can see the drive rods and pistons moving

The Ausini :). There's a debate between original LEGO vs off-brands but I'm open to everything aha. I see some off-brands that have really cool new designs for their tracks (different colours, different curvature angles, etc.) I can't wait to try more of them down the road :P

For outdoor use I think these are PERFECT, they offer the opportunity to have large layouts for less price, and less worrying. I use the same approach with G Scale track (I use Newqida track for my big scale models)

 

I personally like a lot your "outdoor videos" - please go on since they really are amusing!

Ciao!

I hadn't considered these aspects ... excellent point of view!
