It's more of a problem than you think TrainsRMe. I've found most layout aren't build wide enough for good POV filming. If you use a very narrow lens to keep unwanted background out of the shot, you end up with another problem. Any uneven track will exaggerate any movement of the train. Going through switches will be like riding a bucking bronco. Like you said if you use a wide angle lens like a GoPro camera, you end up seeing too much. I like the GoPro because of the quality of picture. I'm thinking of taking an old F-3 shell, cut it up so the lens is cropped by the window to get a engineers eye view of the track ahead. Also you could use a wide lens and crop the video in editing. Don
