-
- Short of covering up the layout after each use, a better method is to
- have the layout set up so that it's viewed almost from eye level AND
- has a 'roof' over it about 0.5 to 1 metre (2 to 3 feet) completely
- covering the layout.
-
- If you've ever seen articles on shelf-style layouts built at eye level,
- you'll notice that a lot have the scenery 'wrapping over' the top of
- the layout.
-
- I've got no permanent layout, but the small yard I have built on the
- workbench in the garage has a wall-mounted cupboard over one end, and
- it's amazing how dust-free this area stays. The section that's not
- covered over by this cupboard collects a lot of dust, dead insects, etc.
