Without doubt, one of the secret wishes of many train fans is to be able to step into the role of the engine driver on a real train. With this project, you can at any desired moment consider yourself to be the master of your own model train, and you can direct it over the model train layout from the perspective of the engine driver.In order to display the view from the model train on a television set or monitor, you will need a video camera, a transmitter and a receiver. Since these components are readily available at reasonable prices, they are not particularly interesting as DIY projects.However, one thing that you will have to devote some attention to is the power supply for the entire setup. In order to ensure reliable transmission of the picture, the delivery of power to the camera and transmitter must be ensured at all times. Temporary loss of contact with the supply rail must not cause picture information to be lost. A mini-UPS (uninterruptible power supply) ensures that this does not occur.
