I don't think there is much Lionel.    It is not in my opinion a Lionel converted to 2 rail.    Lionel did nothing like that in the Postwar era.     Even if a Lionel Berkshire chassis were used, the wheels would have to replaced, or one side insulated for 2 rail.

I think it could be based on a Hines or Pearce kit Mikado.   The valve gear looks too simple to me, but I am not a valve gear expert.    But the tender looks a lot like the Hines tender I have on a mikado.     The water fill hatch casting looks like it is HInes, or All Nation.    The boiler could be from a kit as mentioned or scratch built.    The detail level looks like 50s-70s era to me.
