Title: Carl Arendt
Post by: Cambridge Paul on March 03, 2011, 22:09
I've just had the following sad news
"Carl is under hospice care and is not expected to live very long. Which is why there has been no update."
I appreciate that he worked mostly on the other side of the pond, but a number of Society member's layouts have been mentioned. Under the circumstances I'm sure he'll be in your thoughts.
Regards
Paul

Sad news indeed. Whatever the opinion one may have of microlayouts, he has done a great deal to promote the hobby. We may be more used to small layouts in the UK but he appears to have been fighting against the tide of many publications in the USA.

I communicated with him several times and he was always a gentleman. He will be very much missed.
