The Usual
Our group specializes in all technical and
historical aspects whistles. We have
interactive Excel spreadsheets in our Files
to aid members in accurate
and efficient whistle design (or for
improving existing whistles). We also have a
number of useful links. We are the only group on the entire
web to offer this service
and are the sole source of much of this
information-all of it free to our
members!
Our Goal
We do not refer to air horns as whistles, so
please limit your
questions to actual whistles. We will also
do our best to answer any
historically related questions, as our
entire membership is composed
of steam whistle enthusiasts, collectors and
those holding patents on
steam or related whistles. We have more
collective knowledge about
steam whistles among our membership than you
will find anywhere else.
And If we don't have it, we'll find it.
The Mission
We want to bring all whistle collectors to one spot so we can all
enjoy our
hobby together, as do other hobbyist.
Some want make whistle technology relevant
with current warning
signal standards and reintroduce it as an
efficient, viable warning
signal, competitive with current air horns
and sirens. Other just want to share
knowledge and photos about locomotive, ship,
or factory whistles.
Whatever your fancy
you'll be sure to find it here! |
