Our Logo shows what we do, we put you in the cab of your G scale locomotive and provide the on board streaming video gear and supply signaling/control equipment to allow you to operate your pike from anywhere via the Internet. The logo shot was taken looking out the front window of an RS3 with an IPTrains Trainvision unit equipped with a CM51 camera in 320x240 from a moving train. The signal in the foreground is an IPTrains SL1/3. You can return to this page from any page on the site by clicking our logo in the top left corner.

The picture on the right is a live frame grab from an IPTrains Trainvision unit selected on a random basis from one of the ten cams we have currently running on the railroad. You can see all 10 cams at once at Live! Master Cams. Whenever you see an image with a red frame on this site that image is a live frame grab.
