On the issue of the 362 barrel ramp loader. There are suggestions in the K-Line book, Repair Manual For Lionel Trains, about adjusting the gap between the electro-magnet and the metal piece that is attached to the ramp. I've been trying to adjust the gap with limited results. The barrels either just about move or bounce off the ramp, depending on the voltage supplied.

I had the same issue. I just kept trying to adjust the gap. It turned out that is only half of the solution. I noticed the plate that hangs down from the ramp, that is in front of the magnet, was not centered on the magnet. The ramp can twist a little. Once I centered it on the magnet, barrels went right up the ramp! So it is not just the gap.
