They might be WWII era DR (German) 4 wheel cars as they have for loads what look like JU88 aircraft engines in nacells. I don't know enough to be able to advise when models or plans might be obtained.

Can't read the class numbers from the photo, but seems to be a fairly common European "low side wagon", similar models in HO should be available from Marklin, Roco, Fleischmann, Lilliput, almost any of the European manufacturers.

Contact the German Railway Society, who are based in the UK. They can probably answer all of your questions, as the wagon in the picture is a Deutsche Reichsbahn vehicle. The photo is obviously a wartime one, the wagon loads are Jumo aircraft engines.

Thanks for all the answers. As I can't send SAE from abroad, I'll try to find appropriate SIG or mailing list.
