bikkuri bahn Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 1986, publicizing the new JNR timetable revision. Bonus Nissan commercial. *notice the lower platforms common back then. "Barrier-free" was not on people's minds yet. Tokaido Shinkansen 25th anniversary: *safety always! Tokaido Shinkansen 40th anniversary: *as one comment states: looking forward to the 50th anniversary CM! JR West featuring Nagasawa Masami: *mediocre actress, but she looks fine wearing glasses 5 Link to comment
miyakoji Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Took me a while to forgive JRW and Nagasawa Masami when she replaced Takeuchi Yuko as their celeb personality. I guess it's ok now. Link to comment
The_Ghan Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Ah ... that 1986 TV commercial brought the memories flooding back. I was in highschool back then and used to ride the Series 165 Shonan Colour (not sure if its a 165 in the commercial though). Cheers The_Ghan Link to comment

Cheers The_Ghan It appears to be a 111/113 series, but yes, the shonan color was common back then. They used to be so common that nobody noticed them. Now, if you're a railfan, having one turn up on a service is considered lucky. Link to comment
