Daniel, enjoyed both those videos...very realistic looking, thought the cacophony of natural bird sounds kind of give it away that this is a model setup in THEIR natural environment.
On lubrication...is it possible to use dry lubricants on the moving mechanical parts, but keep the dust down with an oil of some sorts sprayed on the decomposed gravel...perhaps 3 feet to either side of the track? I'm thinking of something lightweight that could be sprayed with a $10 pump garden sprayer kept dedicated for repeat applications as needed. WHICH oil I don't have a clue...

Rog, I'm certain that your suggestion would HELP with the dust problem, but it most certainly wouldn't totally cure it, and won't be happening here for a number of reasons that include my own predilections, SWAMBO's preferences, general environmental concerns and a host of other potentially negative impacts that may or may not accrue. Even if that method was applied, it would certainly not completely obviate the key issue of dust and dirt, though it would obviously help significantly. But in the end it is still needed to attack the problem at the lubrication level, even if the ground is less yielding of it's abrasive components!
Glad you liked the birds and the videos, and thanks for sharing your thoughts and ideas.
