[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by jshrade</i> <br /><br />Okay that is just WAY cool! Since I model HO, I could probably find a dummy loco (old stock Athearn BB stuff maybe) and install one just like you've got yours inside the loco. Does the camera save the movies and then you d/l them onto your computer or how does that work?[/quote] <br />I'm glad everyone likes this little project. It really is a lot of fun. <br /> <br />It is a wireless camera system, similar to this: http://WirelessMicroColorCam.com <br />I bought the same system for about $30 on eBay. All you have to do, after you placed the camera in a car, is to plug the receiver into a TV or VCR and you're set. Video and audio! <br />Since I have a video capture card in my computer, I just captured the movie <br />right onto the computer and compressed it a little, so it downloads faster. <br />I'll get a small cheapo color monitor, that I can place near my layout. <br /> <br />As you can clearly tell by the movie - my layout still needs a lot of work..
