28inch RR eagle added to collection today

[lach470]

Hey dudes! Well, I took the plunge! I've long wanted to add a railroad eagle to my collection and the piece arrived today! A larger 28 inch example manufactured by PS....no one knows the exact name of this maker - now there's a project!

I wanted to make sure I got a legit example as the repros are getting better and better so I was quite pleased when this one came up for sale from Lakesidetrader. Paul had even checked with JR for his take on this eagle to make sure it was legit. I'm comfortable in assuming this one is legit. It's a first for me....so I wasn't taking any chances...

From what I gather - PS is the only maker to actually size stamp their eagles: 720 is 720mm (roughly 28inches). I assume BLN stands for Berlin.

Lots of pics to load....Here we go...Man, I really like this piece. I would almost consider this a piece of TR art!

Cheers!
