More Clean-up

With high hopes that the plastic cover will help keep the dust down on the layout, an attempt was made to clean up the dust layer that has accumulated.  Basically, that meant removing anything that wasn't glued down and vacuuming as much as possible:

Look closely between the spur just to the right of the cotton field and the inner oval track -- the dusted/vacuumed portion is pretty evident (it's darker brown)!

So, vacuumed as much of the remaining plywood and tracks as felt safe to do.  Then replaced the removed pieces after dusting them with a 1/2" soft bristle artist's brush.

Replaced the plastic cover with continued hope. . . .
