Nice Joel. Makes the run seem very long. But one question, early in
the video, the train passes a string of cars in Wills Point. Were
those yours or did someone leave them there and not put them away??
Certainly not club auto racks.<br>

<div dir="ltr">All,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I went to the layout this afternoon to test out some new
equipment and check on the lights. On the HO side one of the show
halogens is out so I will order an LED replacement and wire it in
later. Also the upstairs room reeked and sure enough I found a dead rat
on the floor. I threw the rat in the trash outside and put "Rat 'Sorb"
to decontaminate the area.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>On to the subject of the email. I've been messing around with
drones and found that the ubiquitousness of drones and smartphones has
provided us consumers with a glut of cheap micro-sized live action
camera equipment. For a mere $60 on Amazon.com, I was able to procure a
micro FPV camera, 2 drone batteries, charger, and an FPV phone antenna.
The whole rig is small enough to easily fit inside an HO locomotive
with some minor modification, and effortlessly into O scale. Overall I
was quite impressed with the results, watching live instant video from
my train straight to my phone, with the option to record. The picture
quality is not perfect, and no sound, but given the low cost point I
couldn't have expected better. Other antennas can be bought that have
VGA out to go to a TV or other screen. Oh the modern world in which we
live.</div>
<div>I've uploaded a video I took today to Youtube:</div>

<div>If you find this interesting let me know and I'll share
specifics about what I bought.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks!</div>
