The crew of the Dunkirk (kitbashed from Bachmann products) with engineer Cliff had a video crew along to videotape a tour of the C&A Ry. Cliff is one of Jack Hewitt's (Rastun) figures designed for the Bachmann Ten Wheeler cab. The vid is a quick 3 minutes long and was done with my Canon A70 camera. The loco has no sound but the sound the camera picked up is interesting.

Thanks for the ride.
Great train ride, and I love your tour of the layout. You have done some nice work, and can be very proud of it.
That was a real pleasure to watch. Great work. It would be very interesting to see the camera set-up you used to film it.

Thanks guys!
Yorkie,
Nothing special was used to do this. The camera was a standard digital camera (Canon A70 3mp) set on movie mode with auto settings, 320x240 pixels. The camera was attached to a little Sony table top tripod (no longer made)-

folded flat and strapped down to a flatcar in front with velcro straps.
The video is also up on YouTube now -
