[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by mcouvillion</i> <br /><br />Kyle, <br /> <br />Oh, another thing. The TC-9 camera is about 2/3 rds the size of a die (dice) and the wires all come out the back of the camera, making it easy to install in tight places, i.e., the hood or cab of a locomotive.... <br /> <br />Mark C. <br />[/quote] <br />Hello Marc, <br />thanks for your reply. <br />Looking at your post, I once again have to envy everyone who has enough space <br />to model in a scale bigger then N and can envision all sorts of installations for <br />this camera. I'm just glad at this point to even fit a camera on an N scale car.. <br /> <br />I am surprised, that the manufacturer doesn't seem to have a distributor here in <br />the US. Even at a $165, it is just the price of a good engine. <br />Since I have a small layout with mostly 9 3/4" curves, I decided to swivel mount <br />the camera, so that it looks more into the turns. Since this camera is even smaller, <br />this should be easier as well. <br />So as soon as I have recovered from my latest spendings on MR stuff, I'll order one <br />of those too. Might even be back on sale by then! <br /> <br />As far as power pickup goes - I agree that batteries are working better. You <br />need a lot of wipers and axles to get good uninterrupted power of the tracks. <br />It's one thing if the light in your caboose flickers here and there, but having the <br />video feed collapsing is just no fun.. <br /> <br />
