Plarail Molly (2006)

First written March 9, 2025

In 2006 Tomy began releasing Molly for the Thomas Plarail series and export ranges. Molly has nice details shared between the different regional releases, and was likely designed by the European Motor Road & Rail team like some other trains in the mid 2000s that were released in Europe first and later released in Japan.

4922 Molly (Thomas Motor Road & Rail) (2006)

Molly was first released as early as February 2006 in the European Motor Road & Rail range with a faceless green truck.

Molly is a tender-drive engine with large stickers on the sides. Her running board is nicely painted with black lamp irons and white-rimmed wheels... very nice. This export example dates to October 2006.

Her middle two wheelsets, one large and one small, are on a separate sprung boogie. Molly was also released with faceless green truck in 2006 at Toys R Us in the United States.

4937 Molly with Track (Thomas Motorized Road & Rail) (2006)

Stocked in other stores in 2006, Molly was also sold with four straight tracks in the United States.

T-29 Plarail Molly (2006)

Plarail Molly (プラレールモリー) was released on September 21, 2006 as T-29 in the Thomas Plarail series. She includes the same faceless green truck as other releases.

The green truck is a lighter green than the truck included with Plarail Dash. Molly was discontinued with the end of the T series of boxes in 2012, although I think she may have been hard to find in the early 2010s anyways...
