    Since the track of the Series 3 is 12cm less than standard gauge railway, of course it has spacers to get the tyres squarely on the rails!

    So in Queensland, would they have to put the spacers on the outside of the wheels?

    I think special wheels - or use a Series 1!

    I used to see a Td5 Ute with those retractable railway wheels from the train between Wynyard and Circular Quay stations just as the train exited the tunnel. Must have been 20 odd years ago.

    I regularly saw a 130 similarly equipped round here. These days they use a variety of Toyotas - equipped with large 'pedestrian safe' bumpers that the railway wheels retract behind.
