Pushing The Limits

I've been taking night shots of moving trains for many years now but always with full frame cameras with a relatively small number of large pixels on their sensors, the ideal set-up for low light photography. How would a camera with a relatively old and relatively small sensor with a similar number of smaller pixels cope? Not very well in theory but in practice the results were better than expected, not up to full frame standards but more than acceptable.
