Re: Removing car numbers on Walthers cars.
Currently on Facebook, there is a guy that replaced the lettering on a Walthers SOO caboose using Solvaset and a pink eraser. Said it takes about an hour per side to remove the lettering. This method

Re: Wanting to buy!
Yeah, I was rather perturbed when I realized the IMRC seems to have lost or dumped the Red Caboose moulds.
Doesn’t make much sense to me

That's a sought after but rare to find kit nowadays. Lots of the other version though. I gave up and put a row of Archer Rivets down the edges and hoped my Yarmouth, Kadee & Hi-Tech details would

Re: MILW & NP log trains
Question - The weight of the logs would rest directly on the two cross I beams which are directly over the truck bolsters and the trucks. Little or no weight would be on the center portion of the car.

Super Clean degreaser will lift lettering from Accurail cars in less than two hours without affecting the paint – unless you soak cars for a week and scrub hard with a toothbrush. I haven’t tried

Scott,
I use a Euro scratch brush to remove lettering only. Light passes. I have used it on many different cars with success. A complete writeup and photos are on my blog. Look under “labels”

Hello,
Anybody have any tips or tricks to remove only the road numbers on a Walthers Boxcar. I will give Walthers credit that paint is tough as nails.
