I have installed several of these. The lighting is the only issue. You can either put bright white LED's in the nose and/or use lights in the tunnel roof. If you use LED's then they never burn out and you won't have to dig up your tunnel to replace low-light incandescents. The cameras that I sell and install are not gimbled but could be if you just wanted an "inspection" car. See http://www.trainbuddy.com/public/47C/f7a_athearn_genesis_dummy.htm for an install in an F unit. Track pictures from the camera under low-light conditions are available under http://www.trainbuddy.com/public/47C/47c.html <br />This shows some dark and light areas, turnout position and signal lights. Most use 2.4Ghz with a fairly narrow band. The ones that I sell are all color and are get rave reviews from my customers. I have installed in a caboose, SD70, F unit, and a Sperry inspection car. The power is either battery or battery eliminator from DCC track. Reception is very good. At least 300 feet up to about 800 feet depending on interference conditions. <br /> <br />TheTrain Buddy.
