Irish 3D prints previously sold by Rue d'Etrop[al

[Geoffrey Gee]

Can anybody tell me if the range of Irish narrow gauge 3D printed items that were designed by Simon Dawson and sold under the Rue d'Etropal brand are still available . These were printed buy Shapeways which are no longer trading. I am particularly interested in the West Clare Railway items in 4mm scale.

kind regards

I contacted Simon regarding the possible sale of his Irish CADs. His preference is (unsurprisingly) to sell the business wholesale, but he does plan to offer downloads of his CADs at some point via a website (afaik he has several thousand to get through!)

I’m not familiar with the models you are referencing, but if you want west Clare rolling stock, you can buy the STL files for some of the rolling stock on the website “Cults 3D”. Maybe these are what you’re looking for.
