I use a dust sheet. It's just a thin, lightweight curtain.

You can't go using words like "stour" or even "stoor", it baffles the sassenachs and any talk of being permanently erected is really going to upset loads of the older guys    

I'm sure the rate the government is closing hospitals you should be able to pick up a positively pressurised clean room really cheap and as long as you change the filters when requires nae stoor will gaethir

The cat dusts mine, tho you are then left with the problem of how to get rid of the cat hair.....
Even leving the rail cleaner energized dosent seem to deter them, i think the enjoy being zapped....

Why buy, you must have an old sheet or duvet cover (mine was cut into two pieces the other is used to protect the floor when i decorate ), I also made a lightweight wood frame for underneath to protect scenics, factory chimney etc. A bit fragile but we're all carefull with are railways . Two things I've wondered, would large cardboard boxes cut/trimmed make a better sturdier frame or would gardeners fleece if dustproof, be the easiest option?. Cheers john. Question for you guys, when was the last time you uncovered your railway to operate?, I confess it's while for me .
