any rollingstock image sites?

[class1987]

Hi does anyone know where I can find some decent UK rollingstock wagon sites because all the image sites are linked to fotopic and I think it's bin closed down now so I can't access them anymore.
So if any of you guys know where I can get some good images can you let me know, chears.

fotopic was pretty much all there was, well, railpictures.net has some UK stuff, and there's railphotoarchive, but it's mostly locos, so you have to manually search for good photos of non-loco rolling stock. (If the stock you have an interest in was commonly pulled by a specific set of classes, it's a slightly easier task)

Fotopic being down is really a pain, I've had to stop working on most of the things I was modelling, since while I have drawings, I need to cross reference actual 'in the wild' examples for details :/

Rumour is, it's not coming back either, so we need to hope that Mr Bartlett et al move to somewhere more... reliable.

Edit to add:

This flickr group: http://www.flickr.com/groups/1093237@N25/pool/with/4470215788/

Has some good stuff too, there are probably others like it and crawling the web trying to find such things is going to be a new reality if fotopic is truly gone forever.

right ok then, let's just hope they do come back for us content creators it's our only option to create the models to get the shapes right, otherwise we will all have to travel around the place to get our own images.

As I live in a small town I only have 1 type of wagon that goes through my area so I have got to travel to alot of places for my models that I want to create. JPA and HQA I'm working on at the minute.
