There are a few Japanese die-cast models in 1:22.5 and a few expensive German plastic kits otherwise you have to accept the scale difference and go for either 1:18 or 1:24 scale plastic kit or die-cast vehicles. There are also some US kits in 1:20 but no shops in the UK seem to stock them any more.
 
@gep4 - grootspoor (their site also works in English ) produce some vehicles of this sort off their own bat ("Eigene production") and also stock a number of other suppliers although the Dutch do like their very large "yellow machines" which may be too big for the rail vehicles you have in mind.
