Well, my attempts to film a video of the traincam view didn't work well. Shooting video of a TV monitor yields poor results. I took some still shots which are also not very crisp but they will convey the idea. The actual image on the TV set is satisfying and clear while I run a train from my cab mock up..
The train cam provides nice views like these:

I noticed that I often failed to anticipate grade crossings while running trains in front of the TV. I recently installed a number of Tichy whistle posts such as the one to the left of the track in the photo above. They really help!
