“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... More second one has a pure locomotive with one person-wagon and a baggage cart. Both have a short railway station.”

“Being a '90s set, the train basically builds itself. The entire build cost me two hours and a half (I lost quite some time simply admiring the set) and was extremely straightforward with no surprises at all, but I need to admit it has its charm. The exterior is simply... More amazing.”

“The Metroliner is a sort of culmination of the various European and new North American trains in service between major urban centers. Another nice touch is the small single 9v lamp, connected to a yellow waveguide at the front for headlights.”

About Trains 9V

The 9 V system ran from 1991 to 2006 and is still a favourite with LEGO train fans. The rails have metal tops that carry the current from a speed regulator to a motor under the locomotive, so trains could run without batteries for as long as they stayed on the track. It started with 4558 Metroliner in 1991.

9V consists of 67 sets that ran from 1991 to 2006. As of today, 4558 Metroliner is the most valuable 9V set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $1,989.
Summary
Trains 9V Metroliner set 4558 was released in September 1991, retailing for $140, but has since been retired. New, unopened Metroliner sets are valued at $1,989, while used sets can be found for $517 in good condition.
