By type, what do you mean, the name of the set? It may be in one of the posted catalogs online.
As to value, the items in the set are all pretty common.. $50 would be the high end of the scale IMHO, and only because it's sealed MIB -

Welcome to the forum.
Nice set. I was given one without the box in near mint condition for the price of postage back in September...

I don't think that's one of the named, Tyco-catalog-featured sets. If it is, it could simply be a variant of the "twin diesel" sets sometimes shown in catalogs and often sold through Catalog merchants (Sears, JC Penney, et al). Box style and contents date it to about 1975-76.
Not really a very desirable or colorful example (hope you like red and silver) and the cars are all dirt common. But it's a nice, basic set that started many a hobbyist. Agree that $50 is probably a fair price on the high end, but only as a set.
