Subject:Anybody ever install a Hy-Rail kit on a Vanagon?

Vanagon and Rail Fans,

First question: What is a Hy-Rail kit?

See the following link
http://www.fairmonttamper.com/hy-rail.htm

The truck has a Hy-Rail kit installed. The Hy-Rail kit is the railroad track wheels installed under the truck. The track wheels may be extended/retracted hydraulically as required.

Has anybody ever installed one of these kits? Does anybody know of a railroad running a Vanagon with a Hy-Rail kit? I would like to know how they did it? Any modifications required?

Would this not be a hoot?
