The humidity level for three weeks has been between 43% and 53%. Here in St Charles County Mo the humidity is very intolerable in the summer. My concerns mostly has to do with moisture my locomotives and other electronics attract. Does anyone know the best humidity level.

Stephen, I'm 20 min. south of you in St. Louis County so I know the drill. If your basement is climate controlled (like I presume your house is), then the humidity in the basement should remain relatively low anyway. However, sometimes if the basement is not climate controlled and your foundation has a lot of hydrostatic pressure, then dehumidifiers are necessary. But again, it would be helpful if you knew the humidity now. It may not be necessary to do a thing. FWIW, I like to keep it at 45% or lower due to trains and other things .
