Don't know if Krupp made it, but I have a "Leopold" Railway Gun in 1:72 by Hasewaga. Don't have any idea if it still might be available.

All production German railway guns were produced by Krupp. Rheinmetall designed a 15cm one but it never made it to prototype.

Current kits I know of:

1/72 - Plastic Hasegawa - Leopold Hasegawa - Karl Morser Gerat 040 (with loader) Hasegawa - Karl Morser Gerat 040 (without loader)

1/35th - Resin: CMK - Karl Morser Gerat 040 (they also sell the munitions loader as a separate kit)

HTH,

This is what I get for writing things like this with a 102 degree fever. The Karl kits are the TRACKED guns. Sheesh.....

As such the list should be significantly smaller...

There are quite a few HO scale railgun kits from the European model railway manufacturers. These are incredibly detailed and very expensive. If you're interested I can dig out some URLs for you.
