  I always sorta thought the dust gave my layout that natural "weathered" look Big Smile [:D] .

 That way I didn't have to put fake dirt on the trains to give it effect.

Re: Dust control on layouts - anyone have this?

I use a micro shop vac accessory pack by shop vac.  It works with the shpo vac and the attachments are great.  There is a small brush attachment that you use and seems to work the best for getting dust off of cars and roofs and the streets.  Cost about 10 bucks at wal mart.

We got one of those also, as you said sure ain't cheap !!  Then about 6 months ago the state of California being what it is, has passed legislation making them illegal !!!  It appears the amount of O-Zone that they create is toxic.

Reading between the lines...If everyone set up an ionic breeze on the porch in CA the ozone layer would be replentished, and the smog will be removed...But I'm thinking the ozone is affecting either the Botox or the silicone.
