Micro Layouts

Micro Layouts - interview with Carl Arendt 201o, recorded by the Model Railway Show.
Carl was a huge inspiration and friend to many modellers around the world and is greatly missed. This video is a means to preserve this interview (although the Model Railway Show podcasts are still available on iTunes at the moment and worth a listen!). Since his passing, the site has been taken on by a volunteer who has preserved the wonderful archive and continues to be updated to this date. The random selection of pictures in this video are a small sample of the great stuff to be found there. www.carendt.com/

I have consulted his website many times over the years. I would like to express my thanks to Him & his friends and family who have kept it going since his passing. Very much appreciated, thank you x

Unfortunately we lost Carl a few years ago, but the site lives on with a new webmaster

what is the new Address, the onld one just goes to Ubuntu welcome page

[@timothyboles6457]

@@shayleebell9206 as far as I know, the website was the same. I haven't looked it up for a while. So it could be gone. Not sure there. There was a guy who took it over. But like I said. I haven't looked it up in a while

I'm currently building an 009 (HOe) layout on a board 1200 x 300, Have to say that Mr. Arendt's website was a major inspiration for me, seeing what could be done. Much belated thanks to him and the current keepers of his legacy xXx

Hallo, ich habe mir jetzt viele Seiten mit britischen Modellbahnen angesehen, besonders die Seiten mit Schmalspurbahnen. In Deutschland gibt es natürlich auch Schmalspuranlagen und Modelle, aber hier fehlt einfach oft dieses „ach wie niedlich“, dass ich oft empfinde, wenn ich die britischen Loks und Züge sehe. Generell haben die Anlagen in GB ein sehr hohes Niveau, Respekt dafür.

Great video, thanks. I'm a huge fan and have a layout in one of his issues. I've got the urge to make another small layout 😁

[@moghobbystuff]

I still pore over some of the old designs from the small layout scrapbook with plans to build another !

Nice to hear the late Master himself!

Dakota Southern! I knew Alex Huff.

[@onkelmichl3300]

who is he ???

[@moghobbystuff]

Carl ran a wonderful website and authored a few books on building micro layouts, he fostered a global community and inspired a lot of people (me included) to get modelling. His definition of a 'micro' was a working railroad in four square feet or smaller! His site was updated at least monthly with contributions from all over the world. He sadly passed away a few years ago and a volunteer stepped forward to keep his website alive. Today although there are occasional updates , it's more of a repository of Carl's work and stewardship.
