Attached you will find an example of what I think you are describing.  If this solves your question, please select the "Accept Solution" on my post.  If you have questions, please ask.

Edit: I updated the model so you can automatically drive the wheel.  Right click on the "Drive Me" Joint and select Animate Joint Relationships.

If this answers your question, please select "Accept Solution" on my post.  If you need further help, please ask.

Since you said "imagine 2 wheel with vertical axis at the edge of yellow rectangle" I added two small fillets to the corners to serve as round surfaces in order to make the Trolley ride around the inside of the Monorail.  You can drag the Trolley to see the motion or you can right click on the Drive Me joint and choose Animate Joint Relationships to drive it automatically.  This motion will be odd as the driver is a rotating component (invisible) from the center, speeds up and slows down depending on the Monorail location.  I broke the link to your external components so I could return the file as a F3D file.  Model is attached.
