Description

A passenger train for a bigger layout

Released in 2001, the Metroliner sits in the Train theme and belongs to the 9V line, where the rails carry the current. Its 787 pieces make it one of the larger train sets of that period. It represents an inter-city passenger service of the kind found on busy American routes. Black, light grey, white and red dominate: the red adds contrast while grey and white shape the carriage bodies. For anyone who likes older railway sets, it is a typical example from 2001.

Eleven people on the platform

Eleven minifigures is a generous crew for a train set. You can fill the seats with passengers, put staff on duty and leave a few waiting on the platform without borrowing figures from elsewhere. The 787 pieces come from only 111 different parts, so many appear several times. That makes the repeated carriages quicker to build, since the steps are similar. The set works for running on a layout and equally well for display on a short stretch of track on a shelf.

Finding parts after twenty-odd years

Because this set dates from 2001, some of its parts are harder to find today. The parts list on this page shows every colour and quantity, which helps if you are rebuilding the train or adding a carriage. If your copy is no longer complete, the list tells you quickly what is missing. Pieces left over after building can go into the What can I build? tool on this site, which suggests further models from your own collection.

Who it suits

The Metroliner suits railway collectors and builders planning a larger layout. With 787 pieces, it is a project for a few evenings rather than a marathon. The black, light grey and white parts are easy to reuse for your own carriages, stations or vehicles. If you would rather show the train on a shelf, you can stand it without track and it still reads as a complete model. For newcomers to model railways it is a manageable but rewarding start.
