And I do use HF track cleaners (Relco but by Gaugemaster!), but I don't generally leave power connected on layouts in storage, anyway fried mouse could be a fire hazzard! <br /><br />I can't be bothered with humane mouse-traps (they're not human), but one of the blighters had caught his foot in one, got half-way accross the garage before putting his head in another. Apologies to the squimish!Michael Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09740155011466713811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400903239930176564.post-74898038664136990642009-08-17T13:23:09.316+01:002009-08-17T13:23:09.316+01:00I'm not sure you could construct a mouse-proof...I'm not sure you could construct a mouse-proof box from MDF; in fact I'm not sure you could construct a mouse proof anything. They've even nibbled their way out of the humane mouse traps I tried to use.<br /><br />I ended up resorting to poisoning them. But perhaps if you connected one of those Relco track cleaners that always give you a nasty shock and left it live, the mice would learn that a Pen-Y-Bryn is not a safe place for them!One-Tenhttp://www.littlestorping.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400903239930176564.post-48251029266409768692009-08-17T13:16:40.619+01:002009-08-17T13:16:40.619+01:00Thanks guys, I'd definately consider selling i...Thanks guys, I'd definately consider selling it but I wonder if such a specialist layout would attract much interest. After all, operation gets a bit tedious!
