At least seven. This includes: 3-LAL, 2-Green Bay RR Museum, 1-owned by VILX, 1- at another museum.
This is from memory, but I do have a list elsewhere.

I don't know how up-to-date this list is, but this is one of my favorite sites devoted to the Green Bay & Western.

Here's their list of GB&W units.

That should give you a little direction.
