You heard it here first... Kato Amfleets

Actually, the cars with the "dome" in the photo above are NOT the SPVs, they are Metroliners that were upgraded.   SPVs looked VERY similar - they key indicator here (since you can't see the pantograph on the roof that's a dead giveaway) is to note that there is only a cab on one end.

I think Metroliners, SPV-2000's, and "Amfleet" cars shared the same basic carbody. Kitbashers take note.

Very similar but there are a few differences.  One of them is that the windows are taller on the Metroliners, though that is not a biggie.  The biggie is the placement of the windows in relation to the vestibules, which will make modifying the bodies a little more difficult.  You have to remember that Metroliners, like the Amfleet cars, are 85 feet long.
