Well thats just weird...3 wheels?
I can't make out the lettering printed under the chassis except for China. What else does it say? There aren't any couplings so it must be a self roller.
Thanks Doctor/Detective Chris
It is weird, my guess is this is something from the Chuggington show.
Thank you chrisjo!

Yes, it is. In the episode "Zephie Ace Reporter" (Season 1), Morgan builds it as a personal vehicle to roam around Chuggington. He calls it the "track cycle", though in real life it would be called a draisine. Later, it gets destroyed by Action Chugger (no, not that one) by accident. Here's an example of a real three wheeled draisine:
is this tricycle on rails even practical?
Thanks Da-lag, very interesting.
we have an old wooden one at steamrail. they were used for short distance track inspection, if memory serves. we know them as a "velocipede"
