Mayner Posted November 14, 2022 Posted November 14, 2022 Some progress in finding an alternate 3D print manufacturer for our wagons with some promising results from a business in South East Asia. CIE 20T Brake with metal sheeted ducket. GSR IRCH Standard Open. Prints received to date have been to a high standard to a level of detail our previous suppliers have been unable to achieve such as the raised oval GSWR/GSR wagon plate, but the finer resolution also picked up on errors in the CAD work which resulted in missing spring hangers and other defects on the open. At this stage I am planning to release our current wagon range on a pre-order basis from January 2023 for delivery March 2023 onwards at similar prices to those displayed on our website. 11 1 Quote
Flying Snail Posted November 14, 2022 Posted November 14, 2022 This is great news @Mayner. I have some of your existing wagons, including the GSR open, and I think they are already fine models that really showcase what 3D can achieve. And to think they'll get even more detailed with your new print supplier on board ... wow! 2 Quote
DJ Dangerous Posted December 7, 2022 Posted December 7, 2022 Great news, @Mayner! Will you be releasing the entire range or a limited range? Will you be offering painted, unpainted or both? Quote
the Bandon tank Posted December 7, 2022 Posted December 7, 2022 This is fantastic news, looking forward to adding to what to what I already have. Quote
Mayner Posted December 7, 2022 Author Posted December 7, 2022 I am planning to re-release undecorated models of all the existing wagons plus additional versions of the Brake Van and GSR Van during the 1st quarter of 2023. I expect to have sample prints of the revised versions of the Brake and GSR Van by late Dec/early Jan. 4 Quote
