Does anybody have wiring schematics for a Lionel Gantry crane w/magnet they would share or maybe where I could get the schematics. Got one that is disassembled and want to get it operational. Thanks

Try this link: 282 crane or this link: 282R crane (There are two versions of the crane)
Olsen's has been kind enough to put a lot of prewar and postwar Lionel service material online for free. Plus they created a number of their own pages to supplement what Lionel provided. Folks interested in repairing Lionel trains would do well to bookmark the site. Olsen's Library
Currently Lionel has all their modern era (1970 & up) material online too. It can be found here: Lionel Service documents.
Some of the more recent material seems to be embedded right in their parts list.
Try searching for the item to see what information is available.
(Note: I don't think this would bring up information from the service documents section)
See the article with photos for restoring a Lionel 282 Portal Gantry Crane.
See Wiring diagram with notes.
Some of the info may be helpful.
If you need additional information, I have a copy of "Complete Service Manual for Lionel Trains".. I can try to scan legible pages of information for you..
