🚂 MOLLIE MADNESS MONDAY! 🚂

The O Scale N&W M Class “Mollies” are moving right along!

The chassis are now painted, and the tender bodies are heading into the paint shop as production continues to come together.

Even better, We’ll be back in China in just a few weeks, where I’ll get to see the latest Mollie production samples in person, along with our upcoming F7 samples.

A lot is happening behind the scenes right now, and we’re getting very close to seeing these locomotives really come to life.

Stay tuned, plenty of factory-floor photos and updates coming from China! 🚂
