Is there a list showing the controllers used with the various Post War Accessories?  What about cars used with specific accessories?

As I have tried to find these accessories, many of these are missing the controller.  Several accessories use the same controller (e.g. 364C) while, for others, the controller is unique to one accessory.  In some cases the accessory requires a UCS but in two cases you need an OTC only.

In the case of the 456 Coal Ramp, some coal cars don't work with the ramp.  The plunger interfers with the electromagnet on the ramp.

If someone has developed these lists, please let me know.  If these lists do not exist, what is the best source of this information?

Thanks.  This information will be helpful when I go to a train show and find separate controllers and operating cars for sale.

When necessary I use my Greenberg's Lionel Postwar Operating Instructions with Layout Plans reference book, Copyright 1992.  It is a compilation of most all the Lionel operating instructions that came with most everything Lionel made/sold in the Postwar Era.

The instructions list/show whatever came with the item along with how to use them.

Nothing like it for the Modern Era yet.
