I built an impromptu car for it at our get-together in August.
I went with an 8x24 *baseplate* as the bottom of the car; I was able to
reinforce it with a technic beam along either edge. It rested on the
tracks - gave a slightly bumpy view of the world on switches, etc, but
it worked fine if you don't mind cleaning tracks with your baseplate.
I'll bring the sacrificial baseplate if you like.
Bring *lots* of rubber bands; you can stabilize the camera, *and*
provide a shock-absorbing, non-marring cushion for the camera. Calum
doesn't like his precious scratched by nasty ABS brickses, gollum.
Placing the camera within a plate thickness of the track worked wonders.
