Just received my PM 1225. I thought it was my PE that was due today... but oh well. 
Outer shipping box was perfectly intact as was the inner box and the foam. But she still came in with a broken pilot bushing, and one questionable one. 
A chat with Lionel customer service was in order. They said they just got them in and should have the parts listing done today. They are sending me two new bushings.
These may prove to be a fragile item guys... they are a redesign from the older berks I was told.
Another poster was wondering about the paint scheme and the match to the other PM livery. I think it's perfect.
Images are included for your drooling pleasure.
I also included a few images of the damaged bushing if anyone is interested.
