Yup, my layout has bugs.  Little tiny bugs.   I live in the North East and my layout is in the basement.   I noticed that my layout has little tiny bugs (smaller than a nat) they don't seem to fly though.  I found them crawling in the static grass and on the ballast.   I try to keep the train room clean, dry, and well ventilated.   I dispose of all cardboard and even paint the bench work (both sides) to keep exposed wood.

Any ideas about getting rid of them?  

All,

I am looking for a bit of advice. I have a completed structure that I have weathered and put the final coat of dull clear coat on. I was working on it yesterday, adding some "weeds" to the base of the foundation. I decided to use Isopropyl Alcohol to allow the scenery glue to flow easier. This turned out to be a mistake. Now the side of my building has turned white. I have tryed to clean it off with soap and water but there was not improvement.

Does anyone have any advice on how to correct this problem. Can I add another coat of dull?

The Central Vermont Railway only had two RS-3s, and only had those for a couple of years before they were transferred to its sister the Grand Trunk.

I love the lines on the RS-3, and even though it's a bit of a squeeze in my timeline,  I had purchased one when I first started in the hobby in 2008. I installed my first sound decoder in it, and than proceeded to immediately plunge it to its death; off the layout and onto a concrete floor.

I am finally getting rod of a lot of the junk that is cluttering my bench work and roadbed. it had to be done because I was unable to lay any track on it due to the fact a certain part of my layout had to serve as  shipping point for my wife's eBay business and my youngest son's shipping business. It doesn't work amd that is no longer acceptable.

So how am I accomplishing this major chore? It's being moved to another room. So now I will finally get run trains which I haven't been able to do for a couple of years now. It's about time.
