Yeah, you will get some interesting perspectives from the loco camera. But to make it look good, you may have to re-scenic your layout accordingly!

 

There are various youtube videos of layouts as seen from loco cameras. I remember one (English layout?) which must have been carefully set up to minimize the appearance of anything extraneous to the layout itself.

 

One of the ideas in a magazine some years ago was to build a layout specifically for good loco camera views with many parallel tracks isolated in their own "scenic corridors" for maximum mileage in the space.

 

I remember a loco cam view on a small Lionel layout at the CSRM where the camera did a lot of "horizontal pans" because of the sharp curves. You didn't actually see so much of the track or layout!
