I have some old rolling stock which I still cannot identify and find on net, I will be taking a picture of the lot maybe someone can help me out and tell me if there were any prototypes of any of the cars or not.

One in particular that I'm looking for at the moment is the following gondola. its a composite car which I cannot find.

I only found something similar which is the following photo, but this is all metal

does anyone know if such gondola existed?
 
There's a real prototype. They were ‘War Emergency’ gondolas were built by Pressed Steel Car Company during 1943, using the wood sides to save on steel. There were several thousand built with both drop and conventional ends. I don't know if the Burlington paint scheme is correct - maybe a CB&Q fan here knows. I wouldn't be suprised if Burlington had them since most Class 1's bought these "war emegency" cars.
