I am a member of the Stoney Creek Model RR Club (HO), Rochester, MI. After one of our members bought a camera thru Micro Mark, we used it for a month while we had our club layout on display at a local museum. It was a great hit. The picture was excellent and we were using it with the layout operating in a large area. The length of the run would put the camera, mounted on a flat car about 75 feet from the receiver and reception was very good. Adults and kids visiting the layout would stand on the return loops just to see themselves. It was such a hit, out club bought its own unit. We mounted it in a dummy F Unit which we use in the A (front) pushing it with a powered unit. Last week our layout was on display at a model RR show/swap meet in McComb County, MI. Again it was a great hit with attendees. The camera has done everything we wanted. We have also used the camera on various member's layouts. We record the trip around the layout thru the VCR/receiver. This has been a bit hit with the members. On one occasion, a switch on the main was turned to a siding. We were watching monitor while the train was travelling on the layout, and witnessed it going into the siding and hitting a parked RR car. Needless to say we had a lot of fun with that, ie accident board review with taped evidence. We only had one problem. A visit took a flash of the engine containing the camera and it immediately shut down. We thought we had blown the camera lense. However, we disconnected the unit, reconected and it operating just fine. Rad Jones
