Much much smaller than a train.

Clues: A single crewman and extremely rare and possibly not known about by a great many people. I certainly didn't until I went looking for something odd for this thread.

The Krupp Kugelpanzer

Very little information is available on this round, single-person armored vehicle, on display in the Kobinka Tank Musuem outside of Moscow. Kugelpanzer means "ball tank," and the one halfway-decent source of information online believes it to be a rolling reconnaissance vehicle captured in Manchuria in 1945 by the Russians, having been sent to Japan as part of a technology transfer with the Japanese.
