My newest camera carrier car, "CamTrak II". makes its public debut on 01/17/2009 at the NJ Hirailers ( www.njhirailers... ) open house for members of the O Gauge Railroading Online Forum.
This car was built following the failure of the first CamTrak to successfully complete a full lap of the subway portion of the layout, and was designed to not only travel in the tight confines of the subway level, but also on the main layout, clearing the DZ-1000 switch machines that the previous CamTrak struck at various times during my other "engineer's eye" video.
I scratchbuilt CamTrak II entirely out of sheet styrene, it rides on a pair of MTH freight trucks, and is equipped with battery-powered LED headlights sourced from the innards of a pair of keychain flashlights.
Oh yes, also marvel at the craftmanship of the NJ Hirailers as the car passes through the completed stations. There are views here that few people, let alone cameras will see,
I'll probably make one more of these when the subway level and the yard connecting it to the main layout is completed, and when the elevated line you can see under construction as the camera approaches the tunnel portals is finished and connected,
