Arnold is a toy company founded in Nuremberg on October 4, 1906 by Karl Arnold. Specializing in tin toys, she also manufactured boats and dollhouses until World War II, when the factory was completely destroyed. He is best known for the launch of the Arnold Rapido train range in 1962 at 1:160 scale with a track width of 9 mm - this was the birth of the N scale.

From 1960 to 1962, production consisted of a range of small trains "Rapido 200", scale 1:200, plus model toy train. However, since 1962, the company was engaged in the production of real train models and became the reference production N from 1970. In 1964, the N scale was recognized as the NEM standard and later the "quick coupler" was adopted as the European standard for the scale. In 1995, the company was bought by Rivarossi and in 2004 by Hornby PLC.
