Need Lionel parts ID, someone out here knows!?

[TeddyB]

Hi ALL!
I have a few parts that I found in a bag with all the Lionel stuff I just got I have no idea what they go to! I suspect the black parts a for Locomotves, the brass gear and shaft thing, I'm clueless! I suspect the "fork" at the end is helpfull in IDing! ANY guesses to what they are and what they are used on???

Many thanks, Ted

The thing on the right is a "coupling shaft assembly", Lionel part 397M-10, for the 397 coal loader from 1948:  http://pictures.olsenstoy.com/searchcd31.htm?itm=297

The part in the middle is a 226E-88 pilot truck attached to a lamp bracket (probably from a 224 or 1666).

The part on the left in the photo looks like the piece that the pilot truck attaches to or it is the piece that supports the side rods when they go in and out of the simulated steam piston and the pilot truck would attach to it.
