Hi, Good idea. Ever thought of France ? France has probably been the largest and more interesting scenario as far as railroad is concerned. Germans had many difficulties in keeping their trains on the rails, due to actions from the allies and the local "Resistance". There is a DVD movie called "La batialle du Rail" that you can purchase at www.amazon.fr (see link: http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/B00005RJJG.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg). The movie was filmed just after WWII and is really a great source of ideas and inspiration for your topic, and alsmost everything is genuine, including the spectacular derailment of a complete military train made of old railraod and military equipment !!!!. See the attached link, where a pic of this derailment is shown. The engine is a older American 140G "Pershing"...... "http://perso.wanadoo.fr/roland.arzul/etat/materiel/140.htm . It is a black/white movie. It shows all the actions that were taken by the railroad people to desorganize the German machine, inclusing air attacks at night, etc.... As far as I know, the aircrafts that were most often used on railroad targets were the Typhoons and Mosquitoes, together with English and US bombers of course. I also found the attached site that shows all kind of armoured military material. "http://www.genieminiature.com/Trains%20militaires.htm " Hope this will help.
