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:
“The best way to teach a child restraint and generosity is to be a model of those qualities yourself. If your child sees that you want a particular item but refrain from buying it, either because it isn’t practical or because you can’t afford it, he will begin to understand restraint. Likewise, if you donate books or clothing to charity, take him with you to distribute the items to teach him about generosity.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
