I know Arnold have offered camoflaged German steamers in N scale in the past - they also had a little "Kof" diesel switcher painted for the Kriegsmarine and a set of wagons transporting assorted supplies (everything from large castings to piles of wood). Apart from those, pretty much any Epoch 2 equipment would be ideal (European modellers use the Epoch system to classify the time period of a prototype - Epoch 2 covers the WW2 period, we're now in Epoch 5). What year were you planning to model? Post 1943 remember to add ample weathering and plenty of damage to the scenery, as by this stage the Axis was heading towards defeat rapidly - the Soviets had started their advance, the U boats were being hit hard by improved Allied tactics and equipment, both the RAF and USAAF were pounding Germany day and night. If you were to model in HO Liliput have just released a series of locos and cars in WW2 camoflage paint and Lima offered a heavy rail-mounted gun in a set with a loco and crew cars, though with Lima currently being out of production it's a case of buy one if you find one. Again, pretty much all Epoch 2 equipment could be used - by the later stages of the war losses of equipment resulted in trains formed from whatever still had wheels and could move. Hope this is of help!
