For the last 3 shows, my Drive-in Theater wa part of the layout:

It is a shell for a laptop computer (Mac, G4, 17 inch screen). At the first two
shows, we ran a powerpoint presentation of MOCs' from ourselves, but also from
other clubs and individuals (your MOC may have been there too!). It was a slide
show of about 25 mocs, with a 30 second movie taken at GATS earlier this year
(MichLug). The last show (GATS, Dayton), we hooked it up to a wireless camera
mounted in a monorail:

It runs of a 9 V battery, which was easily replacable. It turned out this was
not needed, it hardly uses energy, and lasted the whole weekend. It was tons of
fun. We also let it loose on the train loop, we simply put the entire monorail
car on a plate, but lack of better/time. We only have 1 fuzzy pic:

but you get the idea. Next show I will have a caboose that can hold the monorail
car, so we can quickly change them without having to build the camera in and
out.
