We have these trains that are in Styrofoam boxes which are a bit banged up but the trains themselves are new and mint, i have been trying to find some info about them but no luck- The engine car has 2 engineer figures, it weighs about 3 lbs 8 oz, metal, seems to be fancy-the number on it says  C57 22/30 200-0- and Lionel trains Chesterfield MI on the bottom-does anyone know what this is, or how much it is worth? What scale it is?Also there is another car, maybe some type of Boiler says 9000 gals-Union pacific 324 on each car too. I know zero about trains, maybe I can upload some pictures too ( if I can figure out how to do that)-any help would be appreciated-thanks

The wheel arrangement of the locomotive is 2-8-0 (two leading wheels, eight driving wheels and zero trailing wheels). This type of steam locomotive is known as a "Consolidation". The tank-like car that goes with it is called a "tender". It carries the locomotive's fuel supply and is essentially "married" to it.

Doing a Google search for "lionel up 324 consolidation" reveals this page on Lionel's site: Union Pacific TMCC 2-8-0 Harriman Consolidation #324

This should be a good start
