I like the one labeled "Corridor Clipper". I wouldn't mind a full train set of these.

hope that covers your bases for now

It could be an EMU if we wanted it to be. This is Trainz, after all.
Magicland did some Amfleet II cars in 2002. I don't see anything newer on the DLS except one Paintshed car. Are there any Metroliners available?
nope.
Corey; was working on a metroliner, a Michigan coach (ex-metroliner now coach), and 10001. But this was back with AGZ, I have no clue what the status is on these.
Oh just remembered if you caught them connyxy released a set of amfleets as well; but again just the standard ones, none of the ones seen here.

Here's the other end of the postage stamp car.
I wonder ifI can find some more full wrap ads.
Here's an interesting paintjob.

The picture's too big to post.
And while doing a Google search for Amfleet, I found this thread by Jefff944. http://forums.auran.com/trainz/showthread.php?t=8602 Everything disappeared after last December.
And some footage of some Amfleets dwarfed between a pair of baby bullets on the Surfliner run.

Claudethat other scheme was to be used on the regionals to match with the Acela. Amtrak soon realized that amfleets were to precious to have stuck to one consist and so they have since been scattered around the US; although most of the Capstone (thats the name of the scheme) cars still remain on the NEC.

Actually, the acela "splotch" paint scheme is completely gone. Just 2 days ago I rode an Acela to washington d.c. and back and all the amfleets I saw were in phase iv paint.
there are still a few around. although most are in IVb. I saw one the other day on our local train here.
