Does the one at Parola, Finland count? Have some pics.

Defiantly Yes

It served with an NKVD Border Guard unit and was captured near Petrozavodovsk in 1941 by the Finnish Army. What remained from Armoured Train 1 after Continuation War is now Panssarimuseo (Finnish Armour Museum) in Parola. After World War 2 the train was on storage in Weapons Depot 5 and was transferred from there to the museum in 1984. While the train is missing a proper armoured locomotive and the wagons are now unarmed they form almost complete armoured train (armoured locomotive is missing) - one of the very few historical armoured trains still remaining today.

If you have some photos of it please post them.
