Egger-bahn

009 is a similar concept, used mainly for modelling UK-based prototypes, again on N gauge track, but to the OO scale of 4 mm to 1 ft (1:76.2).

A combination of market demands and technological innovation (such as Magna-Kraft) led to the company having to revise molds and create new models at a rapid pace.

The company, in an effort to gain more financial backing, partnered with Constantin Film to produce "western" themed trains to go with the company's Old Shatterhand and Winnetou films, however their lack of realism (for modellers) and fragility (for children) lead to poor sales.

In 1983 the old molds were rediscovered in storage, and Jouef attempted to market the models within France, to little success, leading to the line to cease production again by the early 1990s.The company name registration was not renewed and now is possessed by private owners including Theodor Egger.

The Egger-Lectron,[3] a system for modular electronic experimentation, consisting of elements with magnetic links, has been a quite successful product.
