Thank you. It’s nice to find multiple uses for things that you don’t use very often. It was my first try at that type of video and it was a fun and educational project. Thanks for watching.
(This is Tom, not Sandra.) Great video!!!! All views were great. I really liked the night time view (the last bit). Thanks for posting these videos, sir!!!! Take care.
Thank you for the mention. That is a clever way you made your camera car. I generally prefer the side view because that is what train passengers see. Another advantage of using a cell phone is the variety of lenses most of them have today. Mine had a wide angle lens on both sides. Using both the front and back side cameras provides even more viewing angles as well. These ride around videos really give a good look at the layouts.
II haven’t experimented much yet with lenses but those are good suggestions. I still want to try to find a way to recording ahead of the train so there are always things to try. Thanks for letting me reference your car and for all of your thoughts.
@@AFTrainsND Maybe by now you have seen a video I made after buying a "Spy" camera, as SQ-11. I can place it nearly anywhere and at nearly angle. It cost me lass than $10 with shipping included. There are later models, SQ-12, and SQ-13. The later models do have a wider angle lens.
Terrific idea...I think the best views were with the camera lens at the bottom...and the other view with the lights turned off and just having the lights of the set on is great...nice idea
Thanks for your comments. As I mentioned to somebody else, this was my first try with this so I’ll have to keep experimenting with settings and other ideas. Thanks for watching.
I have a wireless camera that runs a 9 volt battery that transmits to a receiver and coax cable to vcr and tv. The fellow that conceived this set up is long since dead. It's fun to sit in other room and watch train. I usually place camera for an engineer's view. I can record TV with my phone to share on the internet. I actually changed the layout configuration to look better after seeing this videos.
Great video. You and Mark have given great advice on making video cars and shooting videos from trains. You have provided really nice video footage of your layout this way. Nearly everyone has an area of the layout that they may not want to have shown. One way of doing this can be to edit out that part and put in its place a scene of the train running from a bystander's view. There are lots of fun things we can do with our layouts in making videos. Can you tell me what this building is and where you got it? ua-cam.com/video/tL-onPajt-A/v-deo.html Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for your comments. Yes, I could have edited those back sections out of the video but, in this case, I don’t think it hurts for people to see them- especially beginners (which I still feel like sometimes!). I wish I could give you specific information about the warehouse but I bought that many years ago at a closing sale for a local hobby shop. I don’t have the original box and I don’t see any markings in it. I do recall that it took a lot of assembling and gluing. I guess I was just at the right place at the right time. I haven’t had the space for it in recent layouts so I’m glad this addition worked out. Thanks, again, for your supportive comments and for watching.
What great results. This perspective brings us into a mini-world that is remarkably believable.
Thank you. Running the trains and accessories is fun but creating that “mini-world” you mentioned is also a lot of fun. Thanks for watching.
Nicely done. Thanks for sharing this.
I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
Your counterweight was a terrific solution. Nice videos and on train perspectives.

I’m glad you liked it. Useful & cheap! Thanks for the comment and thanks for the inspiration from your video.
Great work Roger! Thank u
I’m glad you liked it. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
Very Cool Idea! Great Close ups.
Thank you and thanks for watching. It was fun to work with.

That sounds interesting. It would be nice to know what that camera is. Thanks for watching and for your comment.
Thank you

Diesel may work well for slow speeds.
