Welcome aboard, TJET!.
This is a tough one, so we need more information. What specifically are you going to attach it to? Have you contacted Lionel, which does keep supplies of old parts?
We've got some knowledgeable people here who might be able to help if they have additional information.

Welcome aboard, Joey! Most Lionel Service pins are in the $50 range IF they are in good condition. But prices vary widely from less that $10 to almost $200. Many posters think that you should keep them as family heirlooms, but here is a place on eBay that sells them: https://www.ebay.ca/sch/i.html?_nkw=lionel+service+pin

The Lionel Construction Train continues to run well, but the crane is a disappointment. The batteries make the red light on top flash, and do nothing else.
The hook and chain are permanently attached to the boom and cannot be moved. The boom is raised and lowered manually (no turning wheel) and the entire structure is rotated manually.
Still, it is a low-priced, sharp-looking train, and it is well worth what I paid for it.

Like every other large gauge remote-controlled Lionel train I've bought, this one ran well straight out of the box. I was surprised to learn that the crane is battery-powered, so I have to wait while my charger readies two batteries for it.
But the train runs well and is the first train on my newest lay-out.

Welcome aboard, Martin.
Looking at various pictures of your Lionel G gauge Thomas set, it APPEARS to me that the controller and transformer are one solid piece. It also appears that Lionel uses two slightly-different power pack/transformers for this set.
Sometimes Lionel sells individual parts, and you can contact them to find out.

Lionel sells it with six different railroad markings at Lionel.com. Use the Search box on top of the page.

It took me a while to find it, but a circle of 048 track will fit inside an OVAL of 060 track.
Looking at a few online diagrams I found, I THINK that an 048 circle will fit inside an 060 circle, but I cannot confirm that.

I THINK that Lionel has discontinued them. They now sell liquid smoke that is guaranteed not to harm the locomotive.

Bobby, a lot of railroad forums have a lot of complaints about switches. If you're going to use them, at least buy high-quality ones.

Welcome aboard, Frank. Could you give us some more information?
Are they all O gauge? Have you tried any of the locomotives to see if they run? Do you have any ideas on the dates? Do you have any of the parts numbers?
This will help you get more inquiries.

I would send an e-mail to Lionel, telling them the type of Christmas train you bought and asking if one of their scented smoke fluids is the one that came with it.

Welcome aboard, Southbound!
I can't find anything more specific than this: the car was advertised in the Lionel 2016 catalog, so you might have bought a used one.
Posters on other forums complained about problems getting the announcements to work, and I wonder if a frustrated owner didn't simply repaint it.
Have you considered going back to the store where you purchased it and ask the owner what the story is?

Wag, did you get these locos new or used? And do you know how old they are?

Try this, Josh:
Go to any search engine and type in something like 1938 Lionel train catalog. You'll find that most old train catalogs are published for free online.
I should point out that identical cars (although painted differently) appeared in different sets, and some cars were manufactured for several years.
