Baldwin Locomotive Works, Eddystone Pennsylvania Jigsaw Puzzle
From www.railphotoexpress.biz; Baldwin Locomotive Works moved to Eddystone Pennsylvania in the Late 1920's.The Office Tower still stands today
Baldwin built many more steam locomotives at its cramped 196 acres Broad Street Philadelphia Pennsylvania shop but would begin to a shift in production to a 616 acres site located at Spring Street in nearby Eddystone, Pennsylvania, in 1906. Broad Street was constricted, but even so, it was a huge complex, occupying 8 square city blocks from Broad to 18th St. and Spring Garden to the Reading Railroad tracks just past Noble Street in Philadelphia. Eddystone on the other hand was spread out over 600 acres. Its capacity was well over 3000 locomotives per year. The move from Broad Street was completed in the late 1920s. The Office Tower still stands today near The (Pennsylvania Railroad) Amtrak Northeast Corridor.
Although the company was very successful as a producer of steam locomotives, its transition to the production of diesels was far less so. Later, when the early demand for diesel locomotives to replace steam tapered off, Baldwin could not compete in the marketplace. It stopped producing locomotives in 1956 and went out of business in 1972.

I got this image in 110 pieces as I cannot commit to large puzzles. This one took me about an hour and was fairly easy. Perhaps 252 pieces would have better suited me for a little more complexity. This is not my favourite sugar skull as I prefer more girly colours like hot pink, reds and purples but I enjoyed doing this one. There is a lot of detail in the image and it was interesting to do. I don't think I will buy the larger puzzle count just because there are other sugar skull images that I much prefer.
Again very good quality puzzle and durable storage box that fits very well on small bookcase. The image was well positioned on this one so who ever printed this one got it pretty bang on.

Jigsaw puzzle is of excellent quality, finish. Only thing I was not too happy about was the actual image printed on the outside of the accompanying presentation box. It was printed approximately A6 in size and was half the actual size of the presentation box. Making it difficult for me to see the actual jigsaw puzzle design when trying to put together the actual jigsaw puzzle :(.

We are pleased with the jigsaw itself. However we are disappointed the box is far bigger than the jigsaw and not the kind of storage box we expected i.e. Ravensburger standard; rather it's a postage box and not very sturdy at that. Given it cost £18 + pp we did expect more. The image quality is good.
The pieces are rather thin and flimsy.
