So-Ki had both tracks and wheels and it had a mechanism to move the wheels up and down, so it could change the mode between railway and track quickly (one minute to track mode and 3 minutes to railway mode). The width of the wheels could be changed in the narrow, standard and broad gauge.
So-Ki was used in order to guard railways in Manchuria by railway engineers and some were also used in Burma.
