I don't own a Metroliner (though I do own some Metroliner parts), but I
do have some ideas.
Do you have any extra grey train windows (you need one more pair)?
I would take all the windows from the 4 engines and make a 2nd coach. If
you don't have extra grey train windows, I would take the narrow
windows, and re-configure the coaches to have 4 regular windows, and 2
narrow windows on each side (with the narrow windows next to the doors).
I would take the cargo doors and make a baggage car (you don't need to
have any trains doors on this car). Now re-build one or two engines
without any windows (you can still use train doors for it though).
Unfortuanately, without more train windows, I see no way to make a
decent looking 4th car.
