I am looking for an 8"howitzer in /148th scale. This would match the Lionel train scale. Any help?
Aurora made a 1/48 scale 8" howitzer and 155mm Long Tom. Both were basically the same kit with a different cannon. Long out of production, but still obtainable on eBay.
Bandai also made a towed 155mm Long Tom, but not an 8".
Here is a link to a French site with information on the Aurora kits:

If you use babelfish, you can translate the website by copy/pasting the above link into the Translate a web page block and set the language to translate from French to English: http://www.altavista.com/
Here’s a link to a Bandai 155mm Long Tom which is undergoing some improvements.
