Not really
We have about 10 to 30 derailments a day. Usually, a train is re-railed within 5 minutes by the operators and the visitor normally doesn't even notice that something went "off the line"

The complete layout is monitored by 360 degree rotating cameras and the operators always can see what happens. Another kind of "real time" supervising

Wonderland and track cleaning...is the opinion then the best way to clean is use the vac and cleaning pad, no liquid? I have just run my Dapol on vacume round the track a couple of times, and only did it last week , and I bet I could have filled a tablespoon with the ballast and dust. Where does it come from? is the hot weather loosening the ballast?

Hi  Dave  if  the  ballast  was  soaked  with   glue mix    when you  did  it it  shouldnt  come loose easily    .......   unless it  missed  it last  week  while  you where  setting up  the cleaner.
