    Camera mounted on train

    This might just be a shot in the dark, or altogether un-practical, but what about making it into a slug?:confused: Recently there was a thread about slugs. You could try to model a slug, and have the camera in it. That way, you could have it dead infront of the loco w/no rivet counters saying...

    Model Rockets and Railroads

    How about building JFK, and modeling the old saturn 5's!!!!! You could build a VAB, get a flag for it, and build the crawler too!!! Now that would be a layout to die for IMHO!!!

    16 Inches Of Snow

    Ed, What about turning the thermostat down in the train room and lightly dusting the layout:thumb: :D . Not sure how long it would last, nor the state of your layout when it dissapeared, but it would look good for the couple minutes it lasted!:D :D -josh
