Years ago before You Tube was common during the days of VHS tapes occasionally someone would come along with videos of Japanese trains and traction. One such source was Carson Home Video, videos made by a long time television industry broadcast engineer and traffic manager. Over the years I had purchased several of Ron's VHS videos. last time I contracted Ron Carson must have been 20 years ago and he wasn't well then.

 

Anchor Videos has acquired Ron Carson's masters and has issued a line of DVDs. This week my first purchase from Anchor Videos arrived. Most of these videos are American trolley videos with a few foreign traction videos.

There are two Japanese videos in the catalog from about the time of Nagano Olympics.   First is A Ride On The Meitetsu Mainline.     https://store.train-video.com/dt36.html

The other Japanese video is A Ride Through Takaoka  https://store.train-video.com/dt38.html

 

Both of these videos are cab ride videos.  The Meitetsu video is on a Panorama Car and goes from Gifu in the south and  north through Nagoya and on to Tokokawa. The Takaoka video is during the days of growling tram cars before modern light rail cars. It also is a cab ride.

Embarrassingly I was the a/v guy since 1st grade and I did reel to reel video tape at one point… what was your choice, Betamax or vhs?

Only time I came across Beta was when I was working in tv for a time. Everything I had was at home was VHS. I too, was born in another century!!!
