Someone recently posted an exploded parts view of the new Legacy Berks.  I can't seem to find it (I should have copied it to a file).  I sure would appreciate seeing the post again as I am having the same problem with the front truck as others have experienced. Thanks.

It's gone now. We opened up a 765 Berk at the store that's been sitting in the back room since last year and , you guessed it, the wheels fell off. Does anyone know the part numbers for the plastic bearings on both the front and rear trucks? The rear one can be glued but the front one is gone. I can't find anything on the Lionel site.

Guys, the reason the wheels fall off is when the bearings are pushed into the socket, they need heavy pressure to seat them.  If you do not hear a sharp chick, they are not seated.   When these engines first started showing up, I got to see a few of them.    The great engine got a bad rap because this very small issue.

The bearing part number is 6308050054  (item #4 in the diagram).  Cost: $.80. 

If all else fails you can buy the whole truck for $20. That's what I did after I messed up trying to reattach the original bearings.

By the way this engine is the best running, heaviest hauler, and best looking engine on my roster.  A real crowd pleaser on our club's modular layout.
