Has anyone had any luck removing the road number from a Lionel 40' flatcar?
I want to try and track down a few of the PRR version and change them to have unique numbers on each.

SIRT-
No doubt people pay attention, but the memory fading time can be measured in minutes...
Question-
have you removed *all* of the lettering on a car with the Magic Eraser? Lionel's new GLa twin hopper comes in post-1952 lettering and I will need to re-letter it. If I can "erase" all the lettering and re-decal that would be hugely better than a repaint.
Cant speak for post war as I like those to be in original condition but it should work for the newer stuff.
Just a little elbow grease need be applied.
Good one Dennis!

The Lionel Grand Trunk Western 89' Auto Racks on Flats need to have the white reporting marks and numbers on the flat car removed, so decals that are correct for the blue flat cars can be applied.
The Helvetica Italic letters and numbers are supposed to be for a GTW auto rack on flat car recently repainted in yellow with black graphics.

Thanks for the tip. I will give the Magic Eraser a try.
