The story of the Whittle Shortline Railroad is many stories rolled into one. It is the story of a family-owned company handcrafting children's wooden toys in a world that is all too often mass-produced.
It is the story of a business that literally started by accident. But start it did. And after ten years of constant growth, Whittle's product standards and operating philosophy remain 100% true to the original vision of its founder.
The Whittle Shortline Railroad story also resembles that of another railroad legend which overcame rather large odds to achieve the unthinkable - a certain little engine that turned the simple phrase "I think I can, I think I can!" into an inspiring, integral part of growing up in America.
In just over a decade, the "little engine" Whittle has become the #1 American wooden toy train maker. And, ironically, today finds the Whittle Shortline coupled with the very same railroad engine that has inspired so many generations since first appearing in 1930.
As the exclusive maker of The Little Engine That CouldTM toy trains, we welcome engineers and conductors of all ages to Whittle Shortline Railroad.
All of Whittle Shortline Railroad's items are made and assembled in the USA (even the components)! |
