They are real high end quality made products, not repainted german models.

That's not the question though, the qustion is whether the models were used by the NS and NMBS and if the Artitec model is accurate.

The Belgian cars are former german railway cars, as that's how the Belgians acquired them after WW2. The Demka one is a model variant specifically for the Dutch Railways (25 built after the war, in Germany), but not suitable for Armoured transport, because they were on loan to Demka (a steel mill) and were marked accordingly. Without the Demka markings, it is suitable for armoured transport. As to which tanks the Belgian had, that would be easy to find out, but at least they owned Leopard 1, Jagdpanzer and M109, that all rode on these crs. The Dutch owned Centurion and Leopard 1 and M109. The tanks that came after Leopard 1 did not fit on the 4-axle cars due to their weight.
