Something to consider when you have a camera in the nose of a model train. Yoiu will need to model the inside of tunnels, the back side of buildings and so forth otherwise you lose credibility when watching on a monitor. It ain't prototypical when you see plywood inside a tunnel or the back side of a building that isn't finished because it doesn't face outward. 

I have seen an N scale layout set in rural England where you watched it on a monitor and every bit of it was finished off in a very realistic manner. Impressive!
