Go on google and look up, "lionel train parts." you will get numerous hits for parts. Some will list them on the site for sale, some will require you to call for the parts.
You can order a set of trucks with the pickups on them.
You will need to be very careful removing the trucks that are on it. They are riveted on. You need to drill them out very carefully.
When you put the new trucks on you can put them on 1 of 2 ways. You can buy a rivet gun from Lowe's and the right size rivets and rivet it back on, or you can use small machine screws and lock tight so that they can be changed if need be.
I figure you are doing something similar to what I have recently done. I picked up a linoel train set, and the caboose was not lighted, but inside had a spot to put a bulb and wire everything up but the trucks did not have pickups.
I ordered a set of trucks with the pickups and I replaced them how I instructed, and just used machine screws. Works great and looks good.
Make sure if you use screws to use lock tight because other wise they will loosen up and come apart over time.
