Gotham Rail & Marine Air Horns
Author: dmaffei

They had them on display at BAPM. Did anybody take a photo of that display they had with all the horns in the display cube? The detail of the horns was amazing and the sizing was what impressed me as well. All 3D printed.
nothing on their website https://gothamrailmarine.com/
but some images on Facebook

Dave, 

I do not have any decent photos of the display (Harry still has it), but heres a few more photos.  My goal is to release the first dozen or so at the St. Louis RPM.  I am working on packing them now.  I have just under 70 differet SKU's right now - I have enough variations to annouce a horn every week for the next year and then some.  I have over 20 manifold designs alone across several manufacturers.    

Full details will be posted on the website (https://gothamrailmarine.com/) as soon as they are released (likely the Monday after St. Louis).  I have been posting some photos on my facebook page as I have been testing some stuff: https://www.facebook.com/gothamrail/ 

Feel free to drop me a message with any questions! Thanks again to the guys at BAPM for setting the display up!

These have been my largest project to date, between testing new resins to make them doable to begin with, to doing tons of field research and taking horns apart to measure.  I am confident in saying this lineup will be the most detailed horns ever made in scale.

Thanks Harry!

Its also worth noting these are the first pre-production run samples too, there are still some supporting tweaks to be made on a few of them, and in the case of the A-125, I wound up redrawing it as I was not happy with it.

Wow, they look great. You just might have model diesel loco manufacurers buying them from you too.

Thanks for the photo Harry. Kurt told me about them. He's a bit of a horn expert.
