Special Report: A Museum Dedicated to Railway Modeling
We visit a museum, which displays the works and collections of a man with a tremendous passion for model railroads. The museum's director, Nobutaro Hara, who turns 93 this year, was able to build the museum, thanks to the collaboration of his two sons who believed in their father's dream.
A museum called the Hara Model Railway Museum recently opened its doors in Yokohama. It features 1,500 pieces of model railroad out of a 6,000-piece world-renowned private collection, which was accumulated over the course of 80 years.
The director, Nobutaro Hara, had a strong wish to communicate to children the importance of manufacturing and of scientific pursuits through this museum, and so he and his two sons have put a lot of thought and effort over 10 years to open it.
Most of the pieces are extremely rare, and many are handmade originals created to resemble the actual trains as much as possible. Join us and see model railroad craftsmanship at its best.
On Site: Japan DIY Home Center Show 2012
Brian Hughes reports from Japan DIY Home Center Show. Tools, paints, supplies of every kind, and even some handy gadgets are on display there. In this "On-Site" segment, you'll find all the latest and greatest products to help you with your "Do-it-Yourself" projects.
Schedule: Aug. 23 - 25, 2012
Location: MAKUHARI MESSE
When the show first started in 1978, "DIY" was an unfamiliar term in Japan.
Since then, it has become a household expression and the scope of the show has grown right along with it. These days, home improvement centers can be found across Japan, which shows how "DIY" has become a part of people's lives.
Our lives mostly center on computers, but sometimes it may be nice to roll up our sleeves and get our hands a little dirty. There is always a feeling of satisfaction when we look at a completed project and say, "I did it myself".
Gadgets: A GPS Watch for Globalists
The GPS in this timepiece allows it to calculate its position and adjust the time accordingly. Whether you are a world traveler or just interested in what's new in the world of watches, you'll be sure to enjoy this "Gadgets" segment.
The watch is named "Astron".
It is the world's first solar GPS watch, which can sync to any of the 39 time zones across the globe at the touch of a button to give you the exact time, wherever you may travel.
Even in areas where there are no signals for radio watches, this watch receives the exact coordinates of its location as well as time signals from the atomic clocks integrated in GPS satellites.
The time signal is so accurate, it is said to have a margin of error of only one second per 100,000 years. Only models for men have been released so far, but in the future, the manufacturer plans to produce models for women as well.
