Pronounced "Mal-LAY", in February 1970, Model Rectifier Corporation offered the first mass produced N scale articulated locomotive, a landmark move in a still very much up and coming scale only four years old.
Eventually Con-Cor got the locomotive and had the well respected engineers at Rivarossi go over it, finally offering their version around April 1977.
My Con-Cor model was picked up at a train show on the bargain table. While one of its previous owners had a little fun with some paint on the cab roof and firebox side, it only required a little cleaning---and larger radius curves than I can offer...sigh...---to become part of my small N scale stable.
