Is it cast or plastic that you want to remove lettering from. For a cast loco like a GG1 I blocked the numbers out and use 400 paper with a little 91% alcohol. dry and clean with water. try to buff with rag. install new numbers and airbrush clear or a finish over new numbers. It worked for me.
Hi it's cast! Everything is metal. I saw on YouTube people were using some type of product but it was all shown on plastic models. Did you see any traces of what you did after that?
That was the first thing I used. MTH uses strong paint. Maybe other manufactures use some other kind of paint thats easier to get off.
