I don't want to cut up or modify any ones that are rare.
Did all of the r/c Molly's have the pistol grip type controller? I have an older Thomas R/C with a small blue remote that has foreward/reverse arrow buttons and a red stop button.
All of the older ones I know of have the pistol grip as far as the older style Trackmaster. I have one like you mention which is sort of egg shaped and has the F R and Stop. That came with the very large Trackmaster revolution set (name eludes me at the moment). I know there are some current TMR Remote Thomas and Percy out that do not have reverse though, but same sort of remote.
