This project, my wireless remote panning mini camera car, has been process for almost four months.  It has been waiting on a working camera for two months.  I received three DOA cameras in a row, the fourth camera should be here next week.
 
  
 
The circuit board above the battery holders is a two cell Lithium-ion carger card, it unplugs when not charging.  The Arduino BlueTooth module (not in this picture) plugs into the Nano interface shield next to the servo. 
 
More in progress projects please.

Every year during 'Railroad Days' restored Santa Fe steam engine 3781, an ALCO 4-8-4 Northern, pulls a mixed up set of vintage passenger cars from western railroads around southern California as a tourist excursion.

Please show me any kind of passenger train.

Will a work-in-progress local do? If yes, this is my (fictional) local passenger train about to depart, connecting National City and Oceanside, motive power usually an E8m a baggage or combine and 1-2 coaches.

How about a steam excursion / tourist train please?

Here's "The Bee", the Erie Northshore's local accommodation pulling out of Lowbanks....

Originally a gas-electric, she was converted to diesel-electric after only a couple years of service.
The moniker, originally a nickname used by the locals, was inspired as much by the paint job as it was by the fact that she buzzed into town pretty reliably after the conversion.  
Management picked up on it fairly quickly, and she's now listed in the timetables as such...The Northshore's very own "name train".

How about some more local service?

SHOW ME SOMETHING!

MAY, 2017

Welcome to the May "Show Me Something" thread! This is a place where forum members can post their photos containing a view of the "requested" scene or object.

No "real-life" photos but models only. After 24 hours, if the requested scene is not posted anyone is welcome to make their own submission and make their own request. It's all about having fun!  

                                              ----------------------

It seems that this Budd RDC was the last passenger service in April.  

Please show me another (RCD) edit RDC or passenger train.
