After reading how someone else made a tracking/steering camera car I followed the same idea. Sorry I can't remember who the idea was, but thanks anyway and I take no credit for the idea, but it was a good one. I need to make some modifications, I need to move the camera back so the lens is over the pivot point, but the principal works okay even now, so when I get the tweaks done it's very promising.

So here is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNDAOR60Xhw < Link To O&K loco on Binnie Skip Train Duties to a just under 6 minute video which includes footage shot from the camera car pictured below...

Slow moving trains and fast women. Now that's what I'm talkin' about
