Amtrak has picked the builder of the next gen Acela equipment,Alstrom that already has a US factory in New York State
A youtube video in the Amtrak "Blog" shows a early look of the design,based off a 3rd gen Pendlino in service on
the Swiss Federal Railways(SBB/CFF)
Announced in a press release today,Amtrak and Alstrom will build a trainset with a top speed of 186 mph for NEC service,
part of "Avelie" model line at Alstrom,the "Liberty" is a 2 powercar articulated train set that is moduler in design
allowing expansion if needed.

There're models of the Pendlino's,in OO scale(1:76 instead of 1:87)in the Virgin UK paint.
