Hello Hokie71
I use a high end Canon Powershot camera which has full manual mode for shooing and automatic mode with choices, for simpler use. As a former professional working professional photographer owning and using all many types of cameras up to 4x5 Speed Graphic Press Camera - I was skilled on how to do day and night photography with the manual exposure film format cameras of years ago. SO using this digital camera makes it even easier.
The key is to use a good quality large (ie: can be extended upward so camera is at least 6 feet high) TRIPOD for shots where the camera cannot be placed on a fixed steady surface (like track deck, etc) on the models. Anything otherwise normally filmed 'hand held" should not be hand held to prevent slight shaking or moving (thus blurring the images) of the camera during the very low light found in shooting model night shots.
I have night videos of the layout --- and regular videos -- here are links to 3 night videos of the EL layout on my You Tube Page
