Found a Santa Fe telephone directory to add to the HO layout desk. 

Also working on a CTC inspired box for turnout and other various on/off controls that will go on the left area of the desk.

I added two tank cars to my collection this week!

I also got my Contour camera this week.  It works great in the belly of a well car and I'm hoping to film an operating session soon in "first person". 

Here's to the week ahead! Yes

Hi, Acela

I found that I could get a lower point of view by rotating the lens 180° and stuffing a little foam in the belly of the well car BUT you have to check clearances overhead.

This was my original setup which was a bit more stable but gave more of a "dome car" view.

Have fun with your new toy! Ed
