It is made from wood in a pale natural tone, with the grain running along its length, and it is cut as a square bar 15cm long, 2.8cm wide and 2.8cm high, with a slanted notch near the mouthpiece where the sound is made. Along one side runs a fine line drawing in deep plum of a steam engine and its tender, the word COAL lettered on the side of the wagon, all running on a single rail. It weighs just 0.076KG, so it sits comfortably in a hand or a pocket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a toy for play first: for games of stations and signals, for calling everyone in for tea, or for adding the final touch to a wooden railway laid out across the floor. The square shape means it stays put on a shelf or windowsill instead of rolling away, and the engine print makes it a cheerful thing to leave out on a desk or bookcase between games. We like it as a nod to the age of steam, and it is just as much fun beside a model railway as it is in a toy box.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is nothing to wind up and nothing to switch on: the whistle comes from your own breath, sent through the notch cut into the wood. To keep it looking its best, wipe it with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from water and damp, as you would any plain wood. For gifting, it is small and light enough to tuck into a parcel alongside a railway storybook, and it is the kind of present that is easy to wrap and impossible to ignore once it is opened.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRex London\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.8cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.8cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.076KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarnings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarning!
