Were these microcars only used on railway tracks or on streets also?

to avoid misunderstandings: it's not the case that it's simply the related microcar on railroad wheels.

The vehicle in this puzzle only runs on railroad tracks and doesn't resemble the design of the 'known' microcar in question.

The Wendax was built by Draisinenbau Alpers, but the Alpers draisines I know look different. But it is still worth a try: any relation to Wendax?
