On page 12 of the catalog linked below is the Marklin 1/32 flat car and 7t GL (modern German) 6x6 truck. Looks great, but the set is about $400.

Hi,
I'm not certain about how this line is going to be received once it comes out. From what I can see, Marklin is principally a train manufacturer, so to get these vehicles, you need to buy them as part of a train set or individually attached to flat cars. Second, these are all modern Bundeswehr vehicles, so I'm again not certain how well they'll sell here in the US, especially at higher than average price points. Third, it looks like you have to be a train resller with a storefront to sell this line, which limits their distribution network. Lots of hurdles with limited appeal...

I would just scrounge Ebay for a DML railcar..they can be had cheap sometimes, other times..like the 4 axle flatcar...sold for 50$.
Plus there are plenty of companies doing 1/35 railbeds now days for the Morsers on thier transports(Most are 3' sections)
