Sometime in the 80's you could buy video camera systems, expensive ones, 
but within reach, that could be mounted on model trains for the /real/ 
experience of being an engineer.  Now you can record it cheaply and 
experience it after the fact, I guess.  The only improvement is you no 
longer have to hock your house and sell your children into bondage.
