We learned from Yuri Pasholok that the armored train has been expanded with a flak train and a gun train, a T34 with a 76 mm gun turret and anti-aircraft guns have been added to the trainset. below are photos taken by Yuri somewhere in the 2020’s at the Central Armed Forces Museum in Moscow. It seems that the panzer train has been merged with the wagons of Poklonnaya Hill open-air museum in Moscow.
