If you have the hard drive space or a flash drive handy, check out the free down loadable back issues of O scale magazine they are a 2 rail O gauge publication but are a wealth of info on scratch building rolling stock and they are free

Look at sources other than your own scale as plans can be easy to convert to your scale.
Check out the scratching and kitbashing area on this forum as there are a lot of people who can help. Ccheck out the GFC(generic flat car) I made from of all things Corndog sticks and popsical sticks. It was my first scratch build and it was fun.
