Who needs their own camera?

When you can Google images of nearly anything.  I'm making HO models of hopper cars.  So I Google "hoppers  Baltimore and Ohio" , and presto, a hundred photos of B&O hopper cars pop up, old ones, new ones, builder's broadsides, end views side views, three quarters views.  Then I can go for Hoppers, Chesapeake and Ohio, or hoppers Boston and Maine
   One thing to watch out for, half the photos on Google are of model hoppers.  Since I am modeling, I want photos of the real thing rather than some other modelers idea of what a hopper should look like.
