For example, our ongoing discrepancy is the double rail standard, was it introduced in 1968 or 1969?
The 1968 theory comes from the original box, where it says that the rails came 8 years after 1959, so the rails were manufactured in 1967 and released to market in 1968.
The 1969 theory comes from the official website, and the 20th anniversary catalogue, that the first double rail set was released in 1969.
Which theory is correct? Even the official sources screwed up that bad that no one can solve this. How does Biglobe Plarail Musuem state that the CM was made in 1969 and the set was released in 1968? At this point, the topic that is searched by others before us might be wrong and we are trying to correct it.
Has your team considered the following situation which frequently occurs with Plarail:
Designed/manufactured in 1967 --> "Released" to market via distributors as planned in 1968 December --> Accessible/sold/marketed in January 1969
This actually very common for Plarail products. There have been many cases in the past 10 years where products "released" at events could not be delivered until January of the year after.
