QUOTE: Originally posted by cacole The old Lionel camera was lousy -- the picture was transmitted through the track to the receiver, and was black and white only, which was state-of-the-art when Lionel put it on the market. As soon as you crossed out of the block you had the receiver connected to, you lost the picture and had to stop and move the receiver. The least little speck of dirt caused a flicker or loss of picture, and it ate 9-Volt batteries like mad. A new wireless on-board color camera and microwave transmitter being sold by RF System Lab of Japan on the Web at http://www.ghz-link.com seems to be an improvement, but using microwave frequencies means that your range would be restricted to direct line-of-sight. I believe this company has a video on their Web site that you can view and see how the camera performs.
