A common time killer for me is to browse Railroad Picture Archives (rrpicturearchives.net) and bookmark interesting pieces of rolling stock to later recreate in projects or just to keep as an interesting foot note. Just to go ahead and say, none of these pictures are mine.
MEC 32062 - rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=4635045 - While "MEC" still exists as a reporting mark used by Pan Am Railways, most cars have received brand new shiny sky blue color schemes. This one (luckily) seems to have missed the memo, and still rolls the rails in original Maine Central colors.
LRS 13850 - rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=4635149 - Simply a neat old looking car, that's definitely had a hard life.
ICG 199106 - www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=252301 - Everyone talks about modelling a Conrail or Pennsylvania Railroad caboose using Tyco's infamous streamline caboose, but here's another option for Illinois Central Gulf fans.
ACFX 77600 - www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=2366780 - It boggles the mind to think how much pressure would be required to make a tank car crumple in such a manner.
AGR 8316 - rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=4382775 - Just another patch-out boxcar that's had it's fair share of miles. I'm a sucker for such cars.
ASAB 8038 - rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=4629421 - A very nice livery on this boxcar, certainly a highlight among the droves of generic boxcar red cars differentiated only by reporting mark.
BN 223489 and 223182 - rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=4629431 http://rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=4629428 - A pair of very colorful cars patched out to Burlington Northern.
And here's a few locomotives to finish off the list (for now)
CARW 7443 - rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=2360678 - It calls itself a Davenport 44-tonner, but every other example I see on the site begs to differ.
PRLX 426 - www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=2366791 - CSX is notoriously light on retaining anything painted for it's predecessor roads, save for a bunch of bits-and-pieces from Conrail and the well-known SD40 that clung to C&O livery. Here's one sporting the sadly lesser-seen Chessie System colors, that even retains the Chessie emblem on the nose (wonder why they bothered to paint it out on the side but not the nose?).
