Well, now I am impressed 
I had no idea the cars were uncommon, moreso considering the set was only £10 from an eBay seller located here in my city no less [couldn't go and collect them in-person alas so I have to wait for postage].
Honestly, I might go do some digging about the Palitoy releases of 'Playrail' here on BPT just in case some of these might have come from one of those sets [age-wise I'm pretty sure these are pre-Tomica World, and the only other release of standard Plarail here before Tomica World was the 'Playrail' release], but IIRC those releases mostly had just freight wagons, and certainly not the JNR blue coaches I don't think, so I'm leaning towards this just being a lucky find of the leftovers from someone's collection of Japanese gear.
[EDIT - Nah, definitely not Palitoy. As I thought, those sets only had freight wagons, and a pretty limited selection at that, none of which are the ones seen here. This stuff is just some mystery Japanese imports that by weird coincidence, ended up in my neck of the woods lol ]
