How to Set a Hi Rail Pickup Truck on and off the Track

We will show you how I set my hi rail pick up truck on and off the track in today's video. I will do another video at some point on how to set my big hi rail truck on and off the track. With both trucks you have to get the rear wheels pretty much centered over the rail head. The pickup truck is more critical to get them centered. Also both trucks are driven on the rails by the rubber tires. The hi rail gear just keeps the trucks on the track and steers the trucks just like the truck sets do on a freight car.
