Look under 282 for gantry crane.This has an electical diagram the others just have part lists. I think this is what you are looking for.

Be sure to add this to your favorites. It' a great reource!
This is one accessory where Olson's Library falls short. They only have a sketchy parts list, without pictures.
You need to install 6-wire cable.
This is from Lionel Accessories at Work on Toy Train Layouts. Wire located on the crane base is numbered top to bottom, starting at 6 to 1.

Please contact me offline if you need a sketch of the origional connections.
I installed my 182 Crane with off the shelf DPDT switches for cab and boom operation, and SPST push button switch for the magnet. Let me know which you would like.
