Eltham Model Railway Club Train Cam ! Train cam - a tiny camera mounted in a model locomotive allowing a 'driver eye' view of a model railway. To see a model railway from the track level is great for shows and clubs. Possiblities are endless with a Train Cam. One can set up a Train simulator that runs the train on the model railway. This could be goods news for layouts with limited space for operators. Here are some pictures of a miniature camera, as I described to the aus.rail.models newsgroup, as well as the Layout Design SIG. Click here for more info on this camera.

(Above) Inside the loco, the camera has plenty of width and height, but too much length.
