Mayner Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 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. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieB Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 This is, truly, a sad day for Irish railway modellers. John’s models filled a void that will be difficult to fill. Thanks. Stephen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Snail Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 (edited) 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?

flange lubricator Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 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 . 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the pricing strategy of Shapeways in recent years, wouldn't that just make the models unaffordable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westcorkrailway Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 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 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Dangerous Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 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: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
