Pondering as I do
“thinks” what can do with that old knackered R296
Hornby track cleaner. A camtruk. First I tried the cheap SQ8 from China
disaster! The most awkward devise to operate very poor picture quality next I
tried the SQ13 also form China for the princely sum of £18 better user
interface and the option of WiFi. First I cut the damaged end out of the Hornby
track cleaner and trimmed off the windows from the roof, refitting the clear
window into the coach covering the remaining window apertures with white plasti-card
shimming it out to hold the camera.
The camera is 28mm wide so it fits into the body of the coach with a small amount of packing. I drilled a small hole in the base under where the camera sits to allow a cocktail stick to poke the camera out.
Little strips of a bean can glued to the inside of the roof and small magnets attached to the body side hold the roof in place total cost £26.00
