Later Ted Hamler modified the caboose to add a miniature wireless color and sound camera that is powered by a 9-volt rechargeable battery. He added a toggle switch in the bottom of the car to open the circuit between the battery and camera to save the battery life.

While installing the camera, he had to drill out the rear window to allow the camera to peer out the rear of the caboose as it travels down the track.
