i noticed on the new bachmann amfleet 1 cars have cafe and coach, but no business cars. on the real northeast regional trains, is there a distinction made on the outside shell/paint/signage between the coach and business class cars? if so, does bachmann make an amfleet I phase IVb (n scale) business class car?

Yes. Business class cars are marked "Business Class". I believe you can buy the appropriate decals from Microscale.

The Amtrak logos; yes. All other markings; no :(

I was fortunate enough to have a small decal manufacture produce a few sets for me before he decided to close up shop.
