Rainbows in the Lehigh Valley Gorge

[TMo]

I'm reaching the time of the year when I have very divided loyalties.  Lots of demands on my time, the days get longer and I spend more and more time outdoors when the weather is decent.  So, after finishing the ballasting of the track, I thought it was a good time to record another "from the front of the train" perspective of my layout.  

I usually do this with a camera mounted to the top of a 86' flat, but there is one place going down to the storage level that cannot accommodate the total height of car and camera.  As a result, all of my prior videos started after that spot and ended prior to reaching it on the return.  Hence, all of the videos to date have been in the counterclockwise direction around the layout.  For this video, I wanted to get a different perspective and run clockwise.  Either I demolished some plywood structure or redesigned the "camera car".  I elected the latter.  Took an old Tyco box car, removed the shell, gutted the floor and slipped the camera in and secured with tape (after checking the clearance in that low ceiling).  

One big problem.  The structure of the camera car is less on structure and more on flex.  When the car gets moving downhill or endures even a little lateral acceleration, it bounces and sways.  You've been warned.  DO NOT WATCH THE VIDEO IN THE LINK BELOW UNDER THE INFLUENCE!
