Recreating a Legendary 1970s Japanese HOe Layout | Egger-Bahn Aesthetic + Handmade Turntable

Playlist →    • Egger-Bahn Lineage & Joe Works Heritage – ...   This handmade HOe layout base is inspired by a legendary Japanese narrow gauge layout featured in a 1978 modeling book titled "Keiben Tetsudo Layout no Seisaku". Known to enthusiasts as one of the origins of Japanese narrow gauge modeling, this layout was created by a group known as the “87 Precinct,” who pioneered detailed hand-built scenery and structures. Combining the aesthetic spirit of Egger-Bahn with traditional Japanese modeling techniques and Joe Works-style scratchbuilding, this project revives the forgotten charm of 1970s forest railways, using modern tools and techniques. 🎥 Related Videos: 🔗    • Bringing a 1960s Legend Back to Life – Egg...   🛠 Product Details Base Frame Dimensions: Approx. 900mm × 350mm × 75mm (W × D × H) (Approx. 35.4" × 13.8" × 3.0") Scale: 1/87 (HOe / HOn30) Track Gauge: 9mm Minimum Radius: Approx. 130mm (Approx. 5.1") Track: PECO flexible track for OO-9 / HOe, Code 80 (SL-400) Turnouts: PECO flexible track for OO-9 / HOe, Code 80 (SL-400) + FAST TRACKS (CH-HO-S) HO scale PC board ties Turntable: Resin cast Switch Machine: Caboose Industries (#5218S) manual ground throw Waiting Shelter / Platform: Basswood + MDF (roof) / Basswood + Cork Utility Poles: Basswood with built-in chip LEDs Power Pack (uses 8 AA batteries): Forward / reverse switch and variable speed control knob Includes poly switch (short-circuit protection) 📌 Shop (overseas) 🔗 https://ngs.handcrafted.jp/ 📩 For inquiries: narrow_gauge_shop@ae.auone-net.jp 📖 Narrow Gauge Shop Blog: 🔗 https://www.narrow-gauge-shop.com/ #NarrowGauge #HOeLayout #ModelRailway #EggerBahn #HandbuiltLayout
