Using 3-Sasakian reduction techniques we obtain infinite families of new 3-Sasakian manifolds $\scriptstyle{{\cal M}(p_1,p_2,p_3)}$ and $\scriptstyle{{\cal M}(p_1,p_2,p_3,p_4)}$ in dimension 11 and 15 respectively. The metric cone on $\scriptstyle{{\cal M}(p_1,p_2,p_3)}$ is a generalization of the Kronheimer hyperk\"ahler metric on the regular maximal nilpotent orbit of $\scriptstyle{{\Got s}{\Got l}(3,\bbc)}$ whereas the cone on $\scriptstyle{{\cal M}(p_1,p_2,p_3,p_4)}$ generalizes the hyperk\"ahler metric on the 16-dimensional orbit of $\scriptstyle{{\Got s}{\Got o}(6,\bbc)}$. These are first examples of 3-Sasakian metrics which are neither homogeneous nor toric. In addition we consider some further $\scriptstyle{U(1)}$-reductions of $\scriptstyle{{\cal M}(p_1,p_2,p_3)}$. These yield examples of non-toric 3-Sasakian orbifold metrics in dimensions 7. As a result we obtain explicit families $\scriptstyle{{\cal O}(\Theta)}$ of compact self-dual positive scalar curvature Einstein metrics with orbifold singularities and with only one Killing vector field.
