Was the sdkfz 222 ever fitted with railway wheels like other armoured cars?

Hi Patrick,
I have collected quite some books and pictures on the 222 in the meantime, but no trace of railway wheels. Sorry

Hello Ad,
Thankyou for checking your books. I have only seen the Italian Autobilinda armoured car fitted with the railway wheels, but maybe one day a photo of a 222 will be found.
The Autobilinda had the railwheels fitted behind the ordinary wheels/tyres which might be possible with the 222?
It would make an interesting modification for use on 5 inch or possibly 7 1/4 inch gauge track.

Patrick,
I was just looking around on the net as i stumbled on that picture.
I've remembered that i saw something on the Armortek Forum about this, so it was the least i could do...
Don't know how to get the picture but perhaps you can contact the people of the site.
The site is also available in other languages...
Greetings
Sven

Surreal!

Great research. Kudos.
