    Here are 38 photos taken in Moscow last August of an armoured 0-8-0, wartime rolling stock including an ambulance carriage, and various rail-mounted guns, including a 12 inch gun on a 480 tonne mounting:

    Yes I am an active volunteer
    I restore and maintain former MOD armoured vehicles, as well as being a fireman on a preserved line. The very thought of the combination of armour and a steam locomotive fills me with dread!

    Thanks for posting the pictures, very interesting.
