Dodge1965 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Has anyone used a camera mounted on a wagon for videos on TT track and wagons? I was looking at the Polariod Cube + , not seen many others that might work.. Anyone done anything like this for TT or N? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Fox 17 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I have had a couple of different ones with mixed results, one was a 00 wagon which I cut down but the pictures not as colourful as I wanted, the other a small flatish one advertised as ideal for model railways was rubbish and.refuswd a refund as the company thought it was okay. I do have a Polaroid cube but too big to either clear platforms or tunnel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have a Polaroid cube but too big to either clear platforms or tunnel. I thought the cube would work as its 35mm wide and high? I've seen a special wagon for it and the maker recons he could do a TT one.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntpntpntp Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Yes it's been done loads of times in N. To be honest I find such videos uninteresting, they do show up scenery faults etc. that need sorting out as you see the layout from a different angle 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine set central and low enough to go through the tunnel hit the platforms, moving it to to side to clear the platform on the right it hit the tunnel on the left, central but high enough to clear.the platform it hit the tunnel top. Other layouts might have something set up differently. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe there is a smalled camera out there.. I have used a usb camera power for night shooting. I might be able to use something like that. Thanks again for info and help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D9020 Nimbus Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 @ntpntpntp models European prototypes in N. Unless relatively recent times or in really major stations, no high platforms! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ateshci Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 An acquaintance of mine is using this one on his TT scale layout and deems it acceptable. As long as one adheres to the clearance standards set by NEM, it will give no trouble, and the frame quaility is rather good. Be warned, however, that all of these cameras provide only marginal sound quality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess u can't have everything.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
