Relettering Alco 2-6-0

[NWrailfan]

Hi all,

I just ordered a Bachmann Alco 2-6-0 in Green Bay & Western, and am hoping to remove the lettering to decal it.
Has anyone done this on the 2-6-0s? Would the Microsol method work, or does it need something stronger?

Thanks!
Aaron

Lettering is stamped on using some pretty tough ink. There are a number of different ways.

My methods is to to use a flattened toothpick, dipped in nail polish remover. Rub gently.

It takes a long time, but it works for me. Others may provide their favorite method.

Regards,
