Artist's Comments

Leipzig still has many old Tatra T4D trams, and I mean many. Interestingly, it recently got rid of all newer T6A2 trams, though, of which it never had that many to begin with. The basic design of this tram built in Czechoslovakia can be traced back all the way to the american PCC car.

They are mostly seen in the three car combination shown here, consisting of two motor cars and a trailer. The trailer is a newer replacement trailer, completely low-floor. Leipzig also has old, high-floor trailers and high-floor trailers rebuilt to be partly low-floor. What I find interesting is that the second motor car's pantograph isn't up, which seems to be standard in Leipzig. Maybe it's not needed on Leipzig's mostly flat net, or maybe there's a different connection somewhere, I don't know.

Tatra trams looks nice, especially this modern version :)
Czechosloviakan trams based on US trams and polish trams based on czechoslovakian models :)

For example here is polish 13N in my picture. [link]
I hope you'll like it :D

War auch mal vor Jahren in Leipzig, da sind mir die älteren Gefährte auch aufgefallen. Vor allem, dass stellenweise Triebwagen auch solo fuhren, hab ich bisher kaum erlebt, wahrscheinlich weil Wendeschleifen auch immer seltener werden. In Budapest sind die T5C5 auch immer noch massig vertreten.

It's not often one finds bogey skirts anymore. It's a nice touch that makes the cars look a lot better.
