About a year ago a very nice gentleman gave me this loco, complete and just needed painting. So while i have been painting my loco dad has been painting this





While i think about it, the loco was built from a kit. The smokebox has the word OUTLINE writen on it but we have not been able to find any information about it. Could anybody shed a little light on the subject ?

nice loco is it a plastic card kit??

i only know if this

I think Outline were makers of SM32/G model locos...though I will stand corrected I don't know if they made that loco...any old shed hands know

Outline did indeed make a FfR Blanche, I think it was the only steam outline loco they did. They wern't around for long, so I imagine it is quite rare. I think it will be made of resin, from around 2002 ish
Anyway your dad has made a great job of painting it

I'd love one of those, I'll swap it for a quarry hunslike if you want

outline supplied samee industrial diesel kits on the late 90's early 00's. this is one of their blanche kits. made from resin and plasticard. very well renowned for the cheap prices but good standard of model. their kits had a saltford models thing about them. althow saltford provided sheets of plasticard, whitemetal castings and the drawings. outline went of the scene when IP started their whitemetal kits. maybe ivan bought the rights to the models from them ????
