  • Rail road HO question

    From Phantomrage@VERT/PRS to All on Thursday, November 29, 2007 03:14:00
    My dad is into Ho scale railroads. I have a Xmas ideal that I would like to build. I am sure it has been done. But here it goes.

    I would like to put a very small CCD camera in the cab of a locomotive. Two things it must have. A wireless transmitter, that can transmit to a TV set. And must run off a small battery. 9v or so.

    Has any one had luck doing such a project, or know of a good source for CCD camera's?

    Thanks,

    EBAY, for about 50 bucks for the transmitter and the reciever that hooks up to the TV.

    Hi Yes, I see it all the time at the train shows. Search on the web or go to some train shows and you will see them.

    How small is "very small?"

    After doing some searching. I have found it to be a very common thing. Also found quite allot of videos of peoples lay-outs. Its really creepy to me, how some people get the model railroad to look so real.
