Arnold ist ein Spielzeughersteller, der am 4. Oktober 1906 von Karl Arnold in Nürnberg gegründet wurde. Bis zum Zweiten Weltkrieg, als die Fabrik vollständig zerstört wurde, wurden auf Blechspielzeug spezialisierte Boote und Puppenhäuser hergestellt.
Es ist am bekanntesten für die Einführung der Modellbahnreihe Arnold Rapido im Jahr 1962 im Maßstab 1: 160 mit einer Spurweite von 9 mm: Dies war die Geburtsstunde der N-Skala.
Von 1960 bis 1962 bestand die Produktion aus einer Reihe kleiner "Rapido 200" -Züge im Maßstab 1: 200, mehr Spielzeugeisenbahn als Modelleisenbahn.
Ab 1962 wandte sich das Unternehmen jedoch der Produktion von echten Modelleisenbahnen zu und wurde ab 1970 zur Referenz-N-Produktion. 1964 wurde die N-Skala als NEM-Standard anerkannt und später der "Rapido-Koppler" als europäischer Standard für die Skala übernommen.
