I'm currently expanding the R&T and am looking to get back to ops again. We (about three or four of us) have been running With a Time Table but without any Train Orders, or dispatcher. Being a small narrow gauge layout with few trains being run the job of a dispatcher would be a bit boring, so we have worked without one. This works well if everybody is on time, but, of course, that usually isn't the case!

My question is this:

Might be waiting to move more drilling mud or sand.  Took the picture in Toledo.

After recommending that Rob in Texas consider adding a webcam to the club I began to think about doing the same. There are a lot of inexpensive video monitors that are either usb or wireless connected but few talk about compatibility with apps like Skype. 

Is anyone using a webcam to share or monitor the layout?

Does the pan & tilt feature work as advertised?

What would you chose to allow an interactive experience as Skype provides?

Thanks!
