For a few of the passenger cars (The SP Daylight ones come to mind), Kato offers a type of "Close Fit" coupler that keep the diaphragms between the cars flush for a realistic look. Do you know if the Amfleets have these as well?
I couldn't seem to find any indications of it online, and after pausing your at 3:06 to have a closer look at the underbody of the amfleets, they don't appear to have the correct mounting points for that type of coupler (it's a very distinctive design, pictures of the mounting method can be found here: katousa.com/N/Daylight/pics/Kbottom.jpg ).
If Dan didn't cover that in the review, it's most likely that Kato did not include that information in the kit. You could try Kato's web site to see if it is advertised. Let us know what you find!

This set is on Amazon for a discount and it's only 140$ so I might get it since from this video it looks like a great set

YourAverageJoe1000 sounds like a great thing to look for using a search engine. Let us know if you find them!

They can do 8.5 inch radius at rather low speeds.
You have just earned a subscription. Keep it up! ;)
Thanks for watching!
Captain Transit so have you
the set looks nice, and I had done a review on n scale Amtrak superliner set
+SGT Ghost Thanks for your continued support!
Are you planning on covering Bachmann's HO model at some point?
I have one already, but am curious to see what you think about it.
It's not likely at this point in time but I never say never!
I take it they're difficult to get already?
I like to put a lighting Kit in the cars
Nice set if you model the east.
+Widi1956 It is remarkable that the only couplers that were off standard were the ones on the locomotive.
where did you buy this
No business car? :C
GO ACS64!!!!
I could put DCC inside the Engine
If they only have this in HO scale :/
+Train Dude 57 Maybe they will do that some day.
Hopefully and maybe in the veterans paint scheme
I think those locomotives are a piece of junk they ain't nothing like the GG1
I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to be like the GG1 :)
Are you a luddite or just come out of a deep freeze?
