Get a copy of "Complete Service Manual for Lionel Trains" by K-Line. Published by MDK, Inc p o box 2831 Chapel Hill NC 27514. I have had this for a long time and it might be difficult to find , not sure. It has all postwar Lionel engines , cars, accessories etc. very complete and descriptive. Good Luck, saw 3 listed on ebay under Lionel service manual $45.$60,$230

I haven't seen this particular product, but I do have a couple of the other train related archives they've put together. The ones I have are good,

This is the one I've used for years:

Greenberg's Repair and Operating Manual for Lionel Trains [Hardcover]
Susan Pauker (Editor) $75 used

This appears to be the new improved version:
Greenberg's Repair and Operating Manual for Lionel Trains, 1945-1969: 1945-1969 (Greenberg's Repair and Operating Manuals) [Paperback] $19.13
