Jeff, I have one of these in my collection and I have just been doing a bit of digging around to see ehich set it came from. There is one that is still current - 6458 (URL) bought this from lego shop at home just over a month ago, so they may still (...) (23 years ago, 26-Oct-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)

Never mind the Metorliner, my <set:10017> My-Own-Train Hopper Wagon arrived yesterday, and I have to say it is an absolute pleasure to build.
