as title says how do you keep your layout dust free? is  the good old fashioned dust sheet cover best or are there any other options? what do you use??? or is it just down to good housekeeping/cleaning of your layout thanks in advance

Sorry, Will, but in my case it's the good ole housekeeping
Can't do dustsheets

i use a light weight plastic dust sheet and i hoover the track fairly often

nothing keeps it totally dust free but this helps anyway

Not bad from someone who sells and maintains 'em

I use a hand me down vacuum cleaner with a brush nozzle about once a fortnight, gotta be careful though as I have been known to suck people up       I then have to rescue them from the dustbag and re-stick them.

Not that I have much of a layout yet but I fly my big Chinook over what I have and with those twin rotors - all dust goes 

cheers John.

Where does it go to though

Hi,

I've heard that unless you have pets and the house is clean and isn't too old, dust is 90% shedded skin cells so have a long shower with a pummice stone and get rid of all family members and friends! Good excuse for some peace and quiet  .

I've got dogs and the spare room is also the laundry. Hoovering seems to be the only solution although little bits of unstuck ballast is the problem at the moment and starting mod roc ing this week. God help me, the hoover and the layout!

Cheers Weave.
