While operating my layout the other day I noticed how much dust had accumulated on the top. This is really noticeable on some areas like buildings, immitation water and rolling stock. I wondered if any members had found any solutions they would like to share to remove dust without damaging their model rolling stock or buildings.

Or do most people not bother?

For scenery I did, stupidly use a vacuum cleaner once and removed a lot more than I intended.

Any good ideas?

For some of the delicate areas on my locos I have used a very soft brush intended for claeaning camera lenses. Bit expensive to use for everything though.

I think we have a car vacuum which would fit the bill. If I put a large mesh that would allow the dust to go through and stop figures such as people and benches getting sucked up by the vacuum. I've actually found this to be and on going problem and this seems to be a good solution.

That sounds good is it part of your air con or is it a portable device?
