I need suggestions on removing lettering from a boxcar. I bought an On30 boxcar from Accucraft and I wanted to remove just the RGS letter to replace it with the home road name. I am planning to leave the rest of the lettering on the car. Any suggestions what is the easiest way to remove it ?

 

Thanks

It was lettering that was being removed so maybe it is applicable to this instance too?

Here is a link to the thread.  You may find some good information there too.

Edit: I see Dave posted the link too, oops.

Rubbing Alcohol

 Rubbing alcohol did the trick with Q-Tips and a little elbow grease. I also used an Exacto knife to scrape it off. It worked out fine!  Thanks for the tips !!!
