The Zwickau model is an inversion of the Karlsruhe model, with diesel main-line trains extended through city streets on tram track. It is so called because the German city of Zwickau was the first to introduce it, with bergen following.
Zwickau uses dual-gauge track, but that is not an essential feature of the model.
Famous quotes containing the word model:
“She represents the unavowed aspiration of the male human being, his potential infidelity—and infidelity of a very special kind, which would lead him to the opposite of his wife, to the “woman of wax” whom he could model at will, make and unmake in any way he wished, even unto death.”
—Marguerite Duras (b. 1914)
