Hi,
I have just finished making my special video equiped wagon. I made the mistake of making it very short so the battery has to stand on end which makes it very top heavy and prone to derailing and falling over. Anyway, its worked pretty well.
The camera is on a sliding post so it can swing round to face either side (passengers eye view) and you can adjust the height. In this video I had one shot at the front of the train with the camera at a drivers eye view and one shot with the camera at the end of the train and high enough so it looks above the coach roof.
The camera transmits the video back to a receiver which gives out an Av signal which is taken into an AV rectifier which then goes down a USB cable into my old windaaz laptop where it is captured and saved as a video file by a prog called Super Video Cap.
I was quite pleased with the result

If you would like pics or more info on the video wagon, let me know and I will take some pictures....
