How can a picture be open-source?
For UN-copyrighted pictures, visit http://www.un.org

(Oh my... that was terrible joke)

Anyways: Batti5, browse Wikimedia Commons.

Where is the development topic for Engine Photos? And wouldn't it be a slightly better idea just to use some artwork of yourself? This way you don't have to bother for copyright infringement and stuff...

And what does Engine Photos do?

AFAIR this was a patch, that would display some background information about engines (accompanied with a picture).

I think it's fairly clear this guy does not speak fluent English.
From what I could gather, he's looking for pictures of train engines to accompany the data when selecting a train to build.
Without taking care of ALL the vehicles, that really doesn't seem like it's worth the time.
For that matter, pictures won't really serve a purpose...
For future reference: Pictures cannot be open source due to their source being.. what you see.

I dunno - I often provide the source of an image or logo that I make in the form of a GIMP file, including all the various layers, components and (sometimes) a bunch of manipulation history.

And for rendered images, "the preferred form for making modifications to the work" is definitely not the output of the renderer.

One might argue (pointlessly) if it is actually a picture at that stage

Similar situation with vector graphics. They can actually be represented as some kind of textual 'source code'.
Well... that's way off topic...

Well, when we're talking about pictures of train engines from real life, I'm fairly certain none of those apply.
