Kalmbach Publishing (CTT publishers) have just what you're looking for at a good price:

Greenberg's Repair and Operating Manual for Lionel Trains, 1945-1969, Seventh Edition. This has the original instruction sheets with wiring plans for most Postwar accessories. I own a copy, and it's a great resource.
