I was someone that badly wanted a Metroliner, but I was young and didnt have
the money to get. And now I have the money but you cant get one for $200
anymore. :( So I wouldnt mind a white Metroliner or even and orange one. It
would need some redesigning. I made a TGV like train, goto

But I would realy like them to come out with the metroliner again.
