Hi everyone
I found your forum in my search for the K Arnold Gmbh & Co. who
became famous for producing the N Scale Equipment.
I recently acquired a Toy Circus dressage horse made by K Arnold Gmbh & Co,
and was hoping someone here might be familiar with this company and could
offer guidance or even just point me in the right direction to find background
history.
Any feedback would be deeply appreciated.
Thanks!

What I've learned so far:
- K Arnold Gmbh & Co. was founded in 1906 by Karl Arnold when he
began producing tin toys at his factory in Nuremberg
- 1960 they focused only on producing European locomotives
[becoming famous for the N scale Equipment ]
- Arnold merged with Rivarossi
- 2004, Hornby acquired Rivarossi
