What would be a good video camera to mount on a freight car and film the ride going through a layout?

Thanks,

Pfalzbahn

I used a small cube camera made by Polaroid. I don't have the wifi version.

Look for camera with narrow field of view to get a more realistic footage (unless you want to include ceiling and your whole basement in the footageBigGrin

The usual action cams has a 180 degree view and can result in a fish eye view. Some of them you can adjust the settings for a more narrow field of view.
