Model Railroading > A few prototypes as a model guide

I shot these here on the CSX CE&D sub near Vincennes, IN over the last month and I thought they would be neat to model.
1. A former Trailer Train bulkhead flat that looks to have been converted to haul power poles. The side stakes are bolted to the side of the car and the center stake looks to fit into the stake pockets in the center.
2. CSX covered hopper with a new wheel on the truck. Take a wheel out of a truck and paint it to look like the one in the photo and now your car looks like it's been in the shop and now is back in revenue service.
3. Gondola loaded with scrap wheels. Have to source these wheels from something but would look great. 
Maybe some of you have done this already so please share a photo of your work. Also please feel free to download any of the photos to use or share to other groups for people that would benefit from them.
