What is an effective, but non-damaging way to remove paint from a 1950s Lionel 624??

Just did the same thing to a 624! I used Scalecoat's Wash Away paint remover. Took a couple coats or so...plastic body and frame casting...but it did the job.

My repaint (SP Tiger Stripe) is all done now. Hope to post pics soon.

You can use 91% or 99% Isopropyl Alcohol and soak it for a few hours and hit it with a brush. Also takes a couple passes, but it's a cheap method.

I have a MTH 20-2505-1 Gold plated F-3. I'm assuming the "gold" plating is some type of plastic. I'd like to remove the TCA marking and make it PRR. It already has the 5 stripes. Are the above mentioned methods O.K. with this finish?? Thanks,

Mark

91% works most of the time. Some things takes 2 or 3 applications and a toothbrush scrubbing.
