A small batch of rtr Brake Vans is currently available on our web site  https://jmdesignmodelrailways.com/ as we use up our stock of Brake Van decals and packaging material.

I have ceased the production of our 3D printed wagons as it not worthwhile continuing as a result of high production costs relative to the level of demand.

This is, truly, a sad day for Irish railway modellers. John’s models filled a void that will be difficult to fill. Thanks.

Sorry to see this John - I've purchased a few this morning.

Would putting your designs on a platform like shapeways be an option for generating some passive income and getting some more return from all your hard work?

Very sorry to here this John but I perfectly understand the cost issues I was lucky enough to purchase the Brake Vans , covered and open wagons , Lma , and the grain wagons which will run very nicely with the recently announced IRM additions .

Anyone who hasn't any of these brake vans get them while you can .

Given the pricing strategy of Shapeways in recent years, wouldn't that just make the models unaffordable?

I love the JM designs 20t brakevan. Probably my favourite bit of rolling stock ever made. From a standpoint of function ability, detail and 3d printing aspect

Does that not amount to the same?

Sad to read this, @Mayner's wagons, and particularly his brake bans, have been great for filling that niche within a niche within a niche.

I guess it was inevitable, and we'll probably see brake vans and opens and more loos-coupled stock from IRM as time passes.

Thank you for your service to the community, @Mayner!

I'm sure I've posted this link before, some of John's wagons shuttling back and forth:

CIE "1946" verison of Covered Wagon in as introduced condition dark grey with green snail and numerals. These were CIEs 1st version of the H Van featuring aluminium sheeting on a timber planked body on a 10' wb version of the 'Standard Irish" wagon underframe.

LMA wagon. CIE built a handful (11) of these "Light Metal Alloy" wagons in the late 40s-early 50s.  16812 is the last in the number series of 15147-16812 series vans built by the GSWR-GSR-CIE from 1915 onwards.

I have fulfilled and shipped all pre-and current orders. 

A small number of pre-Bulleid era CIE Covered Wagons are available on the website as a result of a cancellation. https://jmdesignmodelrailways.com/

We are now able to accept on-line orders from Ireland, the Uk and the USA our main markets. Unfortnately Shopify consider Ireland (the Republic) to be a separate market to the rest of the Eurozone. Our current Shopify Plan limits our sales to 3 "Markets" and its just not worth while upgrading to a more expensive plan.
