I made some modifications to my original minicam car to make it blend in a little more. I installed the car’s original body. I drilled a hole in the roof for the switch, and one in the end for the camera. The body slips off for battery changes. I had to remove the camera mounting bracket, because it sat too high. I use double sided tape to attach a thin (1/4") block of wood to raise the camera off the floor. It was too close to the track, making the foreground blurry. If you look close, there is a “1” and a “0” on either side of the door. These tell me the switch position. Once I had the holes drilled, I rattlecan and chalk weathered the car. I also used my Micro-Mark truck tuner to replace the stock Bachmann (yes, this is a Bachmann car that came in my original Overland Express trainset) axles and wheels. Needless to say, it rolls a lot better, too.
