I think I see the issue here. Are you sure you ment "Metroliner" and not "Amfleet I"? Or were you modeling some Metroliners in tow in your mail train?
Either way, your complaints are just as valid for the Metroliner MU as they are the Amfleet coaches, with the problem of Metroliners requiring multiple far more expensive units to build a train.
Basically same complaint for both. I really only was going to buy amfleets but if I was interested in the metroliner the same applies. I would have liked to get one unit to be a cab car but I cant see spending that much for something that will need to be repainted and de-powered etc.
