How has Kin Jong Un’s train managed to run from standard gauge North Korea to 5ft gauge Russia? Does it have convertible bogies?

I heard they were changing the bogies... so the jacks they used to swap them must have been pretty hefty things to lift up all the armour plating.

There used to be a change of gauge in the tram lines between Leeds and Bradford. They used some adaptable bogies so that trams could run on both systems without the passengers having to change. It wasn't a huge success.
