A few weeks ago one of are forum members was waxing lyrical re a good quality vacuum cleaner. I've searched long and hard but to no avail. Question what is the best hand held cleaner for are railways. Cheers J Edgar Hoover .Cheers john.

I would imagine the small but expensive Dyson, but most members should ask SWMBO before making any purchases!

I use an 18v DeWalt Vacuum.  Perfect attachments, powerful, cordless!

Nice ! How much though ?

I use a bog standard dust buster. Thet come with a pointed nose and brush atachments. Can also be used around the house and was cheaper (at the time of purchase at least) than specific computer vacuums.

is this what you seek http://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?topic=3277.0

The  rechargeable Dyson Animal is a damn good sucker upper and the carpet attachment with the brushes is very good for the stubborn bits.

The one I got 37 years ago still works fine so.... bless her, a few new ends etc at times is all it needs to keep her happy so I`ll be content with her.
She also has cooking and washing programs that work well 

P.S. she occasionally throws a wobbly tho and needs an input of TLC to get her going again
