There is a new scrapbook update available again and I've got some good news about the continuation of the website. The domains are secured with the help of Giles Arendt, so we are sure that the website will not disappear! Also, I've been working on a big website update, but I will keep you informed about that. There is still a lot of work to be done...

I just added a mailinglist subscription box to this page, so you can subscribe to the Carendt.com mailinglist. I did this because I want to ask you, the visitors of this wonderful website, some questions about the site, and possibly send you some newsletters in the future. I hope you will help me make this website even better! The form is at the bottom of this page. Thanks in advance! :)

Since the end of November 2012, a new Editor volunteered to help out maintaining this website. His name is Gert Wierbos. Please send all your updates and new layouts to him. He will keep in contact with the original volunteers for this website. He also put a new update in the Small Layout Scrapbook!
 Carl Arendt and one of his layouts

Webmaster Carl Arendt died on March 4, 2011 in Olympia, Washington.
Carl came to Pittsburgh to attend Carnegie
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.
