Wow I clearly missed those lol
interesting to know all them were indeed part of a collection though
Assuming this was collected in 1988 this person must have actually been to Japan and bought them out there, I'd say it's unlikely there was anyone in the UK actually selling imported Plarail back then, certainly not in the way we see now, so that's kinda cool
Also curious to see that they still had JNR branded container wagons in '88 even though JR had come into being in 1987, although I suppose even in real life there was probably a transitional period where JNR logos on equipment must have still been commonplace under JR, so it's neat to see even TOMY had the same transition within Plarail lol

Also seems this is the container type the old Plarail wagons are supposed to be representing - JNR C12 types (and no, not to be confused with the JNR C12 engines obvs )
No indication that I can find about these still being in use, and any that were still in use after '87 apparently just remained in JNR livery until they were gradually replaced with newer types in JR livery, as there's no pictures of any in anything other than JNR livery.
