Hi All,

I got "Windmill Hill" out yesterday to show a friend, and did a little tidying up before they came round 

Ages ago I bought a set of attachments that were recommended by someone on the forum, but never used them as they did not fit on my centuries old hoover 



However I recently got a new Miele vacuum cleaner and they fit fine. 

There is an adapter to fit a narrow tube to your hoover hose



And a selection of brushes and nozzles



I used the small brush, and it was great for getting into and around awkward spaces and tiny detailed areas without doing any damage.





Luckily everything was glued down firmly 

Many thanks to whoever recommended it

Thank you, one ordered.

I was hoping this was going to be about sourcing spare jumper sockets for Dapol 50s. 

Hey, I've got a Miele! Actually the same one that sucked up a Worthington beer wagon from my layout some time ago. Readers at the time may remember that I recovered it, but in hindsight should maybe have left it in the vacuum. I never used to like the stuff when I lived in the UK 

Looks like a kit worth getting! 

For 'Hoover' read 'Vacuum Cleaner' . I used to know someone whose father worked for Electrolux - purveyor of decent vacuum cleaners...

Actually for "Hoover" read "Hoover" as that is what I bought the attachments for

It is the "Miele" that is the vacuum cleaner , although the "Hoover" is one as well 

All in all a great bit of kit. I hope you won't be disappointed Mike.

Yikes what a sucker that Miele is George 

All best wishes

My kit due to arrive this afternoon. 
I wonder if it'll fit the nozzle of the portable vacuum I used to take to shows - it's a decent bit of gear that I got from our IT department (they used to use it to clean out our big laser printer/copiers)

Hope it is ok for you Nick 

I'm finding it pretty useful. There is a nozzle with a bit of a kink in it which gets into my tunnels, so along with my bit of track rubber on a stick, all bases are covered 

All best wishes

Kevin

I thought that this thread would be about suitable coaching stock for CL50's

If you don't want to make Bezos even richer then this one on eBay is a little bit cheaper, and looks to be much the same.
