Train scope car following another train, looks as if they competed.
When I was a small kid, I enjoyed it when this happaned in some what we Japanese call "fuku-fuku sen" (4 tracks line, 2 in each direction ). What do you say it in English? I don't find the word for it in my dictionaries. Anyone?

Hakuba trainscope vol.1
Successed to take clips into computer from a trainscope. Now I share it to everyone :-)
With the analogue ( not with DCC ), I charged the battery of this train scope by putting the freight car on a track to which maximum electricity was provided for hours because when it goes slow, sometimes the clip does not see good. Does this look good?

DVD converter?
I asked someone if there's something that enables to see the scenery from train scope in a laptop PC and got an answer.
I installed it OK and went ahead. But when a wizzard showed up to went ahead, it said something like " This might cause a problem for this computer system" so I just avoided it by clicking cancellation button. I am not sure if that caused another problem - Nothing visible at my laptop PC even if I connect this stuff and my laptop.
A lot often software packages say "Very easy to do" but not at all for me! lol....
I always have hard time to handle new softwares. Probably I am too old fashioned guy, better go to bed earlier as well :p

Replaced the train scope
I replaced the train scope from Kuha165 to this freight car Toki. This is a lot open than kuha165, the antenna of the train scope works better than inside of the kuha 165. I expected the noise would be decreased a lot but.....it does not go like that.
I had to insulate some at this freight car Toki to replace the scope there. For some reasons, it also does not seem to go right :(
When something does not go good, I don't think about it too much, just go to bed earlier to take enough rest :)

Building the train scope and... :)
Started to set the train scope. Had to choose a train car for it and I choose kuha165 for it.
Needed to unscrew the train car body from its floor. Found an electric board. I needed to do some sensitive work there - wiring and soldering something which is a kind of annoying thing for me because my fingers are a little bit thick to do this kind of sensitive work :(
A small lamp works to express 2 tail lights. There is a tiny cover at the ceiling side of this lamp, I needed to put the scope on the cover to make it work.
Have to be careful not to hurt anything. I used a pair of wood chopsticks to slide the scope deep inside of the train car to fix it. I needed to put a 4mms thick tiny board inbetween the scope and the cover.
Done! Do you find the scope? It's at the middle window - the black stuff with a tiny hole for scope at the middle.
I decided to let ED70 ( the red loco )push the scope car. It seems that the battery for this train scope is charged only if the electric voltage gets more than 5V. I really would like to enjoy slow driving, so I tried to let EF58 push them but then the battery was not charged :( After that I put Moha 164 inbetween the 2 train cars to make a normal order. But a Moha 164 has 2 vertical motors with inside gear system which is too powerful to enjoy slow driving. That's why I choose this ED70. It has 1 vertical motor with inside gear system which is not too powerful to enjoy what I like.
Actually this ED70 is an Alternating Current loco and the 165 series train car ( orange and green ones ) are Direct Current ones so this combination never happened in real world though. But it's just toy, anything goes! :)
It does not look good maybe because the battery was not charged enough. My laptop PC does not have an input plug for movies, so wonder if it had one, maybe I can take the clip from this train scope and edit it?

A train scope arrived!
Finally a set of train scope arrived. All the contents in the pack. I am not good at electric stuff and making something lol... Anyone can help!?
The explanation note says I have to solder the two black wires at the right end of this picture to the electricity board at the floor of a train car. Hmm it means I am to fix the scope at a certain train car. The customers who showed me this stuff some days back enjoyed replacing the scope here and there though. I should have observed it more :(
