I've got a friend who told me that his R/C car *COULD* do a loop, but he
gave up when I asked if it could do three in a row... :-)

I'm interested in the historical aspect of modelling too, which is why I
desire to get into scale modelling seriously. I fixate on and lust after
beautiful aircraft like the Percival Mew Gull, the Dehavilland DH88 Comet,
the BAC TSR2 and the Messerschmitt Me-262 Schwalbe, all aircraft which I
hope some day to own and fly. Along with a long list of others....

Well, I'm not a "Train" guy particularly, but I'd be interested to see
what you got when you're ready. On-board camera systems for my models are
a little difficult to arrange. You can buy OTC solutions but they are
around $500 to start..... Would be really cool, tho! :-)
