Re# 1992334-2              
Thanks AKS KYN GKP for the correct details.
Few months ago i traveled in coach C1. Basically, I saw the wrong seat mapping with 30 seats in other forum. So, I decided to publish the correct seat map for the public. I didn't know there were only 18 seats in the coach as we were traveling in seat numbers 4, 5, 6 and 7. Sorry for my mistake. But, off course, the seat map will provide the details of the seat position in the coach. Enjoy. :)

Hi Rail Fans,
I am planning to do my first rail fanning by travelling all the way to Delhi from Chennai by Duranto and return by Rajdhani. I would like to capture entire journey with use of some technology. I mean, buy 2 Bluetooth enabled cameras and fix them just above the window from outside and capture all the video from inside with my laptop and store them into hard disk. Sounds interesting? I am looking for a suitable HD camera which should capture images as well as the train sounds; and hopefully with strong battery life; at least 5 hours of continues recording. I could change the battery at scheduled stops.
If

Yes, that's the question in my mind too. It could be easily done with magnetic strips with 3M ultra durable taps provided the camera is not heavy and small.

Re# 1752156-25              
Thanks a lot for your suggestions.
The camera connects to smart device through wifi technology. It means, we do not require a wifi hotspot. When you switch on the wi-fi in your device, it shows camera’s ID as one of the network and we need to select it. Once it is done, through the app (given by the camera), we can able to view the live streaming from the camera and the same time, it saves the video into the smart device. The coverage of network is around 100 meters.
I will go

Re# 1752156-27              
I made my booking for 4 persons on 1st AC to travel on 6th May (Friday) to hope this SR king will overtake Chennai Rajdhani. I am going to test my camera by next weekend. how? Going to fix the camera in my car and drive all the way from KL (kuala lumpur) to Singapore by driving 180 kmph at late night in highway. This is my usual speed during late nights in these cities. Its 300+ kms and I used to cover in 2 hours and 20 mins including immigration checks in between. I will post the video for your review. Still, i am hoping to fix my Camera in the window of H1. By the way, is there any one travelling on 6th May to NZM from MAS by SR King Duranto? Please let me know. :)

It was too exciting at door during raining with the speed of around 110 near Tettu.
Yes, so far the day ran too fast. The food was not that good. The entire train was with Rajdhani livery. There is not even a Duronto livery coach. Until you see the train board, everyone will think that it's Rajdhani.
