I liked the interesting faces on this car when I saw it in town here.

So, I photographed both sides of the actual car, found the right model, and recreated it.

 

There's some new images, including a Golden West box, a tank car, and a grain hopper on my website.

Thanks to Everybody for the kind words, as usual.

 

The freight cars I do are photographed on a little narrow diorama board - made just for the photo. Probably 2.5 feet long. The backdrops are real places around town. I used to take the board and car out to the location and stage the shot. Now it's easier to just merge a real background photo that I shot to my car/diorama. If I do it just right - there isn't much blending I have to do. I made the "dirt" on my board approximately the same color as the dirt on the surrounding real-life areas.
