Bachmann also makes the E60 in N scale. This model is not available in any other scale. Was mass produced in HO but unsuccessful do to motor quality. American GK did a run and operated allot better but the company went belly up.
Anyway, the E60 is another model available in N scale.
Life-Like still makes the N-scale F40 in Amtrak colors, although I believe it is closer to train-set quality than it is to the new Proto series.
Dont' miss the Kato series of Amtrak Genesis engines. I don't think they did any passenger cars other than the Superliners.
Then there is Athearn's first N-scale loco, the F59PHI Amtrak-West engines. Athearn's website shows them to be discontinued but most hobbyshops should still have them. They didn't get the best reviews in Model Railroader but they are model of an unusual Amtrak loco.
Hope this helps.
