I am repeating myself. Tender is most likely a brass import. Locomotive is definitely not Hines, or any other self-respecting relic of the past - Frame does look like Lionel, and drivers could be Lionel re-machined. Boiler may say Lionel, and may be pieced together from Lionel castings, but the cab and firebox scream something else (being kind here). Unless it is of sentimental value, drop the locomotive in the recycling bin, and sell the tender for $100.
Opinion, of course.
