I think this is so cool! I was think of using a mini camcorder,but since seeing your video I'm rethinking how to go about this on our modular layout. I've even thought about shooting a video close to the rear of the train to give the impression of a ride on the caboose platform.I would keep lower rolling stock out front so as not to block the view,whatta think?

In one of my vids I towed the camera behind a loco in front of the other train, that would give you the caboose view. The Oregon helmet cam is a little larger than a "D" cell battery, its round and comes with a variety of mounts. I screws its base to a depressed center flat car and it clears all tunnels and bridges...its self contained but has no monitor screen, you just store an hours worth of vid and look at it later. Make short test runs to check camera angle, speed or train, etc.

btw, these helmet cams are around $100 or less, look on eBay, that's where I got mine...lost of other uses, I attached it to the tie rod on my vehicle and made a grounds eye view of the road while driving, very cool...

how big is the layout?

9' x 23' overall in a large "C" shape, open to the middle and all sides, no duck-unders. 24" to 36" wide at the middle and legs of the C, 48" at the ends. about 32" to 42" high track levels....open to tours if you are ever near NJ (20 miles west NYC)
