Just got back from Vacation. I know this has been beating like a horse but I as well received my Berkshire with the broken front wheel bearing where the wheel almost fell off. Not mad at all since I already now the recourse as Lionel will make it right. Beautiful engine none the less. I did speak with the LHS and they did infact inspect the engine and even wrote on the invoice inspected and OK before they shipped. Like some have said before, the front wheels are just not secure enough while packaged. They move to much and with shipping being rough, could have caused them to break.
