 Coming back to your original question on which flat cars were used to transport tanks in Germany during WW I, the answer is not given easily. The German railway system in those days consisted out of different, state owned railways, i.e.<ul><li>Royal Prussian Railway Administration (KPEV)</li><li>Royal Wurttemberg Railway (K.W.St.E.) </li><li>Royal Bavarian State Railway (K.B.St.E.) </li><li>Royal Saxonian State Railway (K.Saechs..St.E.) </li><li>Badenian State Railway and numerous smaller systems. I should not forget: </li><li>Imperial and Royal Austrian State Railway (k.k.St.B.) </li></ul>Each of these  railways had their own design, also for flat cars. During WW I, I guess that they just used the flat cars they had on hand, mainly two-axle cars not really designed for heavy loads, including those captured from "enemy" railways, like France and Belgium, which could have been built by German railway car manufacturers as well. If you want to model that in your layout, you can take any two-axle flat car made by Marklin, Roco, Fleischmann, Piko, Liliput. The best would be to really mix them.
