Peter, Jim,
Several years ago I worked on a project for MR involving signaling on a
semi-local layout. A nice fellow, who described himself as a "low
voltage specialist" was also on site. He installed a video camera on
board a freight car and shot some video that was destined for Kalmbach's
website. Outside of Lionel's diesel nose mounted camera, not much of
this had been done at this time.
In this case the camera was sensitive to IR light as well as visible.
It shot right through black fabric and the colors were downright
weird--it resembled one of those 'ghost buster' type TV programs. In
this case, I guess he was on the bleeding edge of technology. Good work
Peter, but next video I want to see a car cross over the tracks as the
train approaches!

Hi Peter.
It's fun to get a track level view of your fine scenery. These little
cameras are likely going to change how some of us model. I've come to
subscribe to the stage set approach...don't model anything your
intended audience can't see from the aisle. That might have to change.
Cheers
Jim Martin

Group,
Last week I received one of those "key chain video cameras" in the
mail. I had some time to play with it this weekend. I posted my
best-effort video, and wrote a one-page article about the camera
for my web site. See this page:
http://pmrr.org/Layouts/Chartiers/Videos.htm
The video is available via the link in the paragraph just below
the last photo on the page. It is a video of my entire layout (all
20 feet of it :-) ). I hope to add more videos down the road.
Enjoy,
- Peter.
