Seems like a lot of open space between the truck and pilot. Is that protypical? The Atlas version didn't seem to have that. 

Atlas version is a straight SD40, not Dash 2.  Lionel needs to retool this Dash 2, it's 25 year old tooling.

The space between trucks and pilots is not prototypical.

Is that clicking noise normal?   I have that same sound coming from my SD40. Anyone else hear it or experience it.  This is the only engine I have that makes that clicking noise. 

It's normal to the Lionel model and it's prototypical.   I have the Burlington Northern version (1933081) and it does it.  Here's a video of an actual SD40-2 making the noise.  It's most pronounced around the 2:07 mark.  Still annoying.

A bit of realism for your review.

Yep, mine had a bad front coupler right out of the box.  I had to obtain an RA and send it to Lionel.

@ericstrains.com thanks for the video review.  Cool paint scheme.

At the risk of getting this post deleted.  Wondered if the First Union Railroad (FURX) roadname ever was given the more derogatory nickname the The F.U. Railroad?

20 plus years ago First Union Bank took over Corestates Bank in the mid-atlantic area and renamed the Corestates bank branches and any Corestates arena licensing to First Union.  Many locals and long time Corestates patrons would either in jest ...or spite only refer to those newly renamed 1st Union places as F-U bank or center.

What would be clearer to state is that the people running LIONEL today need to do is make SD40-2, SD39-2, and SD38-2 models that have parts which are as accurate and as railroad specific as the SD38, SD40 models produced in past 4 years.
