Ozexpatriate Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 In a couple of recent video releases - one on The Engine Shed blog and another on Hornby's Facebook page, video appears to have been produced by a camera attached to some kind of train running on the outer loop of track. You can see this at about 40 seconds into the video shown here. I can imagine a small video camera like a "GoPro" being attached to a locomotive, or to a wagon hauled by a locomotive. I wonder if anyone from the Hornby team can comment on how this set up was configured? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozexpatriate Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 Thank you very much for the prompt reply - with pictures! The first is very much what I imagined. The effect, particularly in the D16 video is quite interesting. It's nice to see the motion of the connecting rods while the locomotive is moving down the track. Except for the challenges in matching the speeds of the camera rig and the train being photographed - which I imagine is great fun for whomever is driving each train - it produces an interesting and dramatic effect which shows off the locomotives well.
