Thanks! The last photo appears to be broken, I can't see it.
Since I am planning to make some aprototypical interior variations of the Metroliners, what you've suggested is certainly something within the realm of possibility and I may get around to doing it, but right now I'm focusing on the core Metroliner stock. This is one of my first substantial creations for Trainz, so I'm on a bit of a learning curve.
As for a TS12/TANE compatible version, I do have a copy of TANE but I haven't used it in some time and TRS22/T+ is my default version and I want to maximize the features available in that version. However I am open to making a version compatible with TANE.
On that note, progress has been made. It's amazing how much a difference can be made when you add minor details. There's still more to go though.
I've also been working on the interiors for the cars, but I've been having issues finding schematics to ensure accuracy—like where to place the lavatories. I've only been able to find Amfleet schematics and there are differences. There's a Budd Metroliner group on Facebook, but there isn't much in the way of schematics on there (I did find some good ones for the couplers though!). There also appears to be only a few photos of the interiors of the Metroliners, the rest are all Amfleet-related. For the proto models I'd rather avoid as much poetic license as possible, so if anyone has good resources for Metroliner schematics or photos—I'd be glad to learn about them.
Above is an open coach, an open coach with mid-cabin bulkhead (not sure if this was a one off?), a cafe with 2+2 seating, and a cafe with 2+1 seating.
