K-line for superliners
Atlas for heritage fleet and horizons.
What about the recent Lionel Amfleet Cars? They are nice and much closer to scale. Then there also is Lionel's Acela. MTH has the Turboliner.
Now we need a more realistic Metroliner. Lionel is well positioned to make this, they would need to power their Amfleets and get a pantograph on in.
I personally think the Atlas AEM-7 are also quite nice.

Lionel's amfleet cars are sorely undersized. They're about the same length as the MTH cars (~18"), but lionel also compressed the tube diameter, so they appear very small and also ride like high waters. Combined with the light detailing and plastic square to mimic a diaphragm, they're really not up to par with MTH's cars.
Making a metroliner out of amfleets involves more than sticking motors on the trucks and pantographs on the roof. The underframe equipment and trucks are completely different. If I recall, MTH cataloged a metroliner at one point and cancelled it without making it.
