I was going to reply with the suggestion to look for old Model Railroader magazines. That's a great starting place.
Look through the Model Train Magazine Index, and try searching there for the car type you'd like to build.

Then you can hunt down the issues (ebay?) or order them online.
OR, find a fellow modeler near you who was around when those issues were new and likes to scratchbuild.
