The set comes with eleven minifigures, and 768 pieces. Two models can be made using the parts from this set. The first consist of two locomotive-wagons with a person-wagon between them. One locomotive has a bar and the other one is for sleeping and baggage/bicycles. The second one has a pure locomotive with one person-wagon and a baggage cart. Both have a short railway station.

This set can be expanded with the 4547 Club Car set.

Notes[]

  • The Metroliner has no real-world basis, being more of a generic high-speed train. Its colors, however, are that of the distinct Amtrak Phase III paint scheme.
    • The "Metroliner" name could also be derived from the Amtrak train of the same name that operated from 1969 to 2006.
  • The set has multiple different names in different places.
    • United States: Metroliner
    • Germany: Moderner Hochgeschwindigkeitszug (English: Modern high speed train)
    • Italy: Treno City Express
    • France: Train de banlieue (English: Commuter train)
    • Netherlands: Sneltrein (English: Express train)
