• Arnold is best known for launching the Arnold Rapido model train range in 1962 in the 1:160 scale with a track gauge of 9 mm: this was the birth of the N scale. However, from 1962, the company turned to the production of real model trains and became the reference N production from 1970 onwards. In 1964, the N scale was recognised as the NEM standard and later the "Rapido coupler" was adopted as the European standard for the scale. In 1995 the firm was bought by Rivarossi and in 2004 by Hornby PLC.

Starting in the 1960s, the vehicle transport service by trains started to be used massively throughout Europe.Car transporters  were added to night trains or fast daytime trains for transporting passenger vehicles. In this way, long distances could be faced by train without having to drive on the road.Double-decker car transporters were built in the early 1980s for various European networks.These wagons could carry 12 vehicles, six on each deck.For cars loading, it was necessary to have two-level facilities at the railway terminals.The bogies and their brake and rolling systems allowed these vehicles to circulate coupled to fast passenger trains, without limiting their maximum speed.The appearance of high speed and the elimination of night trains throughout Europe meant the decline and end of the services provided with this type of wagons.Our new model made by ARNOLD gives the possibility to fans to complete a wide variety of scale railway compositions with this must-have wagon.
