Spring clean your layout!

There are a few products on the market for OO scale to keep your track in tip-top condition here are just some of the ones that we would recommend:

Dapol Motorised track cleaner to be used in conjunction with the track cleaning fluid.

Accessories and replacement pads are also available:

Woodland Scenics do the dust monkey, which is a clever bit of kit that attaches to the axle of your rolling stock. These can be used to dust your track as the name suggests or add two to the axles of your rolling stock the front one slightly moistened with cleaning fluid and the rear one dry, mopping up any excess cleaning fluid.

Woodland Scenics also have a great rail cleaning kit and replacement cleaning pads are readily available. This can be used with OO and N gauge. Look at the videos for more details:

Alternatively, there is the old-fashioned way: the good old tried and tested track rubber from Peco and the rail cleaner from Proses:

Finally, here are the details for the dust monkeys in N gauge:

Send us an email or give us a call to check availability or to reserve anything, whatever scale you model in. As usual, if we do not have in stock what you are looking for, we will order it for you and you will get it fast (usually within a week if the manufacturer has it in stock). We place weekly orders with most suppliers.

Remember, you can park for free for one hour on the High Street. So no excuse not to come and visit us!

Upstairs Downstairs is open Tuesday to Saturday 10am till 4.30pm and Sunday 1pm till 4pm. We are closed only on Monday.

Nikki, Carole, Mike and Max
