RIP: Carl Arendt

Carl Arendt at his peek It is with great sadness that I have learnt of the passing away of Carl Arendt. Carl is best known in modelling circles for his philosophy that a model railway need not be large to be interesting – on the contrary, he pioneered the concept of a micro-layout, a layout that can fit into less than 3 or 4 square feet while retaining operating potential. His originality and vision will be missed.

It remains to be seen whether or not somebody else can take over his phenomenal website: www.carendt.com.
