<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>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>Thanks!</div>
