A ride on my dad's model train

[Georgije]

My dad has a model railway and i thought it might be fun to film it from a moving train

so i put my i8910 into one of the carriages and attached it to a mirror with some sticky tape and it kind-of worked

first here is a panoramic image of the whole model railway:

the "filming carriage" is in the bottom-right, behind a little house, it has various stuff in it to keep the i8910 steady

and finally here is the resulting video:

LOL, that is so cool And original too.
And that's one huge railroad track..wow! It could be fun to see some macro shots of it on eye-level

nice video

and a very cool idea using a mirror!

you´re MacGyver!

can we expect some more??

i just made a new video in which i glued together the last one and another one which followed a different path (through the more inner parts). A good thing about having a camera on rails is being able to seamlessly paste different clips together


here is the new video which looks a bit more interesting and is also slightly longer

new post due to 10 image per post limit. sorry about the dust on some cars, but the dust is invisible without flash and they are in the middle of the model so they are hard to reach and clean :P

Hi Georg,

I've watched the video and it was differently amazing. One thing I'd like more is the RR which is best suited for HO Scale.

Always wanted a model train set but never got around to it. Congratulate your dad on a great set-up. Took him a long time to get it like that.
