Yeah, they're exactly the same, or if not, they're 99% the same. Dragon's railcars with the exception of the Ssy (simplified detail underneath, but otherwise good) were all excellent kits in their day, and still are. It would be nice if they released a Tiger flatcar, but it's more likely Trumpeter will do it.

I've got the Ommr flatbed by CH. They added an extra set of figures ( Ger. Art. crew)and also the track and roadbed.I only got track in the original release of the 4 axle flat.
And yes a plastic 6 axle flat kit is really needed.
