I am also nominating the following related pages because it has the same issue, even less sourcing, and a similar likely solution:Andy Dingley (talk) 14:17, 26 May 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete - the article seems promotional in nature for a non-noteworthy company.  Orville1974  (talk) 13:03, 22 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Merge to Wooden toy train
 * Whittle Shortline would seem to have just the same problems (so I'm going to WP:BUNDLE it, even though it's a few days later).
 * I don't see these smaller makers as notable. However the wooden track system of model railways for very young children is, I would claim, a notable and also encyclopedic topic rather than just being a business directory. We have our persistent problem of articles on insignificant rappers and self-promoting businesses which convey nothing in an encyclopedic sense, but have enough minor mentions to make them unassailable by the letter of WP:N. BRIO's wooden track system though is both notable and encycloepdic: it's widespread, it has been around for decades and it is produced by multiple manufacturers. There is also a prominent Thomas tie-in.  We can embed a list of these smaller makers within that.  Andy Dingley (talk) 14:13, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
