Maerklin is one of the oldest surviving German model railway manufacturers,
and Alan's Sig refers to their Z gauge range, which at 1:220 scale is the
smallest model gauge on general sale. The "Crocodile" (or Krokodil) is the
name used for the peculiar German/Swiss electric loco classes with long
articulated engine "bonnets" at both ends - giving them rather the look
of
a double-ended "conventional" truck tractor.
