Digital Plarail & Tomica DX (Deluxe) for Windows 95 & Windows NT

I've purchased this last year from Japan using Jauce, mainly to see if it can be used to work on some layouts before we get to build them. 
Not really knowing what to expect given its age and origin, here's my attempt at making it work and using it Smile

Firstly, the packaging. In true 90's fashion, a behemoth of a box, with a single jewel CD case inside:

However, mine came back with some extra CDs, containing additional scenery parts and trains:

Once installed/unzipped on my Win 10 or Win 11 machines, you'll see this. Again, back to the 90's.

Notable files:
  • dtp32.exe - car model browser (simple)
  • ppgp.exe - train model browser ('deluxe')
  • prc32.exe - layout designer
  • prc.hlp - Help file that may prove useful, but need to figure out a way to display Japanese characters on my PC. Despite the language packs downloaded, those older apps don't seem to care.
  • prmov32.exe - layout playback
  • setting.exe - train connection settings? - have not figured this one out yet and its purpose
  • tpgb.exe - car model browser ('deluxe')

I will update this further next week as I have more time to document each of those apps. Will also cover in detail the box and contents of the CDs.

As a teaser, here's what to expect:
