One thing I definitely need, tho, that none of those sites have, and that I can't find on a google image search, is a top-view of a covered hopper car (a.k.a., grain car). One of the things I'm doing with the images I'm producing is I plan to use them as illustrations in a book I'm writing about when I was a hobo, and I'm trying to build models of the different cars I actually rode on. Some grain cars have a platform on the end that hobos sit on (some don't have the platform), so I really also need a close-up of the platform area, something else I can't find. I could probably try to model that part from memory, tho.
As for paint schemes, I plan to reproduce the actual paint schemes of the roads I rode on (Santa Fe, D&RGW, Burlington Northern, UP and Illinois Central Gulf)
