It sounds like you have the "Iron Horse" set, possibly repacked and renamed for sale at a specific store chain:


The only obvious difference from your description is a gondola car with pipe load, rather than a hopper. The locomotive is the old x-6-x "do it all", no pick-ups on the tender, train set streamer of the time. Depending on the set, and the addition of additional trucks, it could be an 0-6-0, 2-6-0, or 2-6-2. Later versions also had a smoke unit that was prone to melt the front of the boiler shell over time.

And the cars are 'modern era', and really belong behind a diesel.

If at first you don't succeed, throw it in the spare parts box.
