The engine is pure Lionel
And the cars are Ives design with Lionel livery
Here you can see their lineage
I wanted to show a video of the set running. I have to say that the latch coupler can be a trial of a person's patience. I adjusted and readjusted more times than I can tell you, and I couldn't get them to stay coupled. I finally resorted to something I would have done when I was 10. I used rubber bands to hold them together. Lets just say they are attempts to model air hoses.
I am sure you will be able to see them in the video.

I have almost the same set but four cars and no blue frame strip. was told it was an uncataloged sears set. my cars are in nice shape but your loco is in better shape than mine.
