I collected some images of bilevel trains at:

The GO looks like the same as manufacturer as the San Diego Coaster, Seattle
Sounder and the Miami Tri-Rail (as Larry said). The Coaster and Sounder have
a great paint job. Unfortunately there are no great pics of these...
Tony Halfner has a really great looking train set that has a very nice color
flow (although not bilevel). After seeing this I was inspired to try a
Coaster or Sounder using Tony's coloring techniques.
