Title: 380-Ton Schnabel Transformer Car Video Camera installation
Post by: jleight on January 17, 2012, 03:05:29 PM
 ??? Has anyone tried to mount the Short CC Video Cameras on the new 380-Ton Schnabel Transformer car? In the instructions the mounting is attached to the side of the main beams and the camera is at a right angle so the camera can watch parallel to the track. The parts that came with the car have the cameras in line with the mounting which would have the camera looking out away from the car. Is this a bad casting or am I missing something? By the way, this car is AWESOME! And something that I have been waiting for decades to get. I used to work for a utility where I bought these transformers and had them delivered using these Schnabel cars. Always wanted one and now I have one. I only wish it had been a Westinghouse or ABB Schanbel Car but I'm not complaining. Nice Job!

 You could repaint & reletter the car if you desire to have it look like the car of your dreams . J2.

I know that repainting is always an option. The big issue here are the side video cameras.
