MODEL RAILROADING MAKES THE WORLD SMALLER
What's New?
 Carl Arendt and one of his layouts
|
Webmaster Carl Arendt died on March 4, 2011 in Olympia, Washington.
Carl came to Pittsburgh to attend Carengie
Mellon where he graduated with a degree in physics and met
Sheila, his wife of 49 years. Carl started
work for Westinghouse Electric Corporation where he spent his
entire career. During this time, he and Sheila raised their
three sons.
Following retirement from Westinghouse, Carl threw himself into
the world of micro-railroading. In 2002 he started this web
site, and authored three books on the subject.
This web site attracted a large worldwide following, and Carl
built up a collection of friends who came to know and respect him
even though most had never met him in person. Such was his
personality that it shone through across the ether.
He and Sheila moved to Olympia in 2009 to be close to their son
Giles and his family, where Carl enjoyed time with his three
grandchildren. His wit, erudition, and creativity
made this true gentleman a joy to be with, in both the real and the virtual world.
This site is a trove of microlayout ideas and examples,
and so long as it continues will keep Carl's memory alive
and further the hobby he loved.
