Here at Canadian Locomotive Logistics occationally we have to funn on developing some products.

Canadian Locomotive Logistics is proud to present is first professional retail version of the #LocoCabCam (v3.25)
We have spent many years developing and testing cameras, and finally have come up with a combination that is the best solution for bring your cab ride to life!
This special train car is used to give the model railroader the unique experience of riding in a locomotive.
The live video can be viewed on your smart device with a third party app, using an android device or an apple device. The video can also be recorded to an onboard SD card. Using the third party application, video can be downloaded directly to your smart device for editing, and social media posting.
It’s more then just a camera!
The live video can also be viewed across the internet when the camera is connected to your wi-fi network.
One of the camera should be on-line for you to view a live feed (it may be a dark screen too, if the time of day is late, or my room lights are turned off).
All your friends can watch as you move about your layout.
You can watch try out the app by following the instructions here
It is made with a Walthers Gold Line 81’ Center depressed car. The trucks where replaced with Ring Engineering 36″ Power Pick-Up Truck, PPT-36-T. These power pick-up trucks ensure there is power all the time from your DCC track. The rail power is dualy rectified and regulated to provide constant smooth power to the camera. I run my camera twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
A special lens was added to decrease the local length. This makes seeing the points on a turnout visible.
The use of a double truck bolster ensures the camera is at a close tangent to the track. This is a must for tight radius curves.
In my pursuit to help out model train clubs, I’m also working on software to control locomotives across the internet. With this camera and my own software, any person will be able to operate a designated locomotive on your layout, with live audio and video from this camera. This will just be an added feature once I get this program completed.
We are now working on our own application which will combine the live streaming video and Locomotive control.
You can see where this camera would be an amazing asset to any train club. You can now provide a constant video stream from a professional camera, to be broadcasted to the internet, a smart device, or big screen tv for all to watch at an exhibit!
- Built-in image sensor: 1/3 inch progressive CMOS sensor.
- Sensor resolution: 2304×1536 pixels
- Sensor sensitivity: 3.3 Lux @ F 2.0
- Lens: F/No.F 3.2
- Focal length: 4mm
- Viewing angle: 66 degrees.
The video specifications include an algorithm for H.264 and JPEG, using a video file format of MOV or JPG. Video recording mode can be either auto, manual, or motion detection. The train camera has the ability to record video at 1920×1080, 1280×720 or 848×480 with a frame rate up to 30 fps.
The train camera also has the capabilities to take pictures at two megapixel, 1920 by 1080.
The train camera built in wi-fi specifications are IEEE 802.11b/g/n using a wifi protocol RTSP. The train camera comes with a micro 16 gigabyte SD card. It can support up to a 32 gigabyte card
The train camera consumes 450mA-500mA when the wi-fi is turned off. An additional 60mA is required for wi-fi. It takes approximately 240 min to charge the rechargeable battery 3.7V / 2200mA lithium battery. The battery included will last up to 180min with 1080p video and with wifi on. When DCC track power is used, the batter with charge, and the camera will be operational. When there is no track power you can record up to 210 minutes of video using 1080p with wifi off. The recording time of 300 min at 1920×1080 resolution can be done on a 16 gigabyte SD card.
The train camera also comes with a physical vibration hand-held alert to control power on/off, wifi, recording with out a smart device.
In the future I’m making an option for the train camera, that comes with ground lights, headlight and alternating ditch lights ( to be visible in the video) with a DCC decoder. I might add a beacon light like the remote control locomotives use.
