Once upon a time the American steam whistle was a signaling device, seen almost everywhere steam was present. Today only a few remain alive and as that nostalgic whistle echoes in the distance, we're reminded of days gone by; maybe with a chill or even a tear. There's nothing like the sound of a steam whistle.

Some are still researching every aspect of the whistle, making them more efficient, louder, and better than ever before; hoping that someday they will return to the main stream signaling market.

Our group consists of collectors, restorers, builders and those holding patents on steam or related types of whistles. If you've always had questions about steam whistles, but were afraid to ask, you've found the right place on the web. We are there for you!

The photo at the right was taken Feb. 28, 2009 and is an experimental whistle top designed by N&W that Lary Evans had cast from a beautiful wood casting pattern that was missing some parts. Lary figgured out what was needed, made the parts and here is the finished product.
