Z scale train cameras
Posted by FJ and G on Monday, December 27, 2004 7:14 AM
I was much surprised to see an ad in latest MR mag for Z scale train cameras (also N and HO).

I've seen O scale cameras, but they are always obtrusive, with a large section of locomotive or freight car chopped away.

Had anyone ever seen or thought about putting a mini Z scale camera in an O scale engine that in unobtrusive, perhaps looking through a Mars light or something?

Dave,

Do you have a link for that Cam?

Pat,

No. It was a very small ad in that magazine. I'll try to find a link later today.

BTW, I see vast possibilities for these mini cameras in the future, including positioning them inside your industries to show animation, inside your houses, inside passenger cars with moving passengers, and so on. Would require a much more dynamic layout than current ones, which usually only have the trains move and very limited movement on some of the accessories.
