A set of three heavyweight cars have arrived on the property. I acquired them on eBay, and they are in Pennsy paint scheme. I had originally intended repainting them in pullman green, but rather like the maroon color. I want to put ANDERSLEY WESTERN in place of any Pennsylvania wording and logos. Any tips on doing this, or will I have to repaint maroon first and put all the lettering back on? The cars are Rivarossi. These cars will be hauled by my Bachmann steam locomotive.
I have succesfully removed lettering using a pencil eraser. Requires a little elbow grease at times. I have also used rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab. This works a little better, but be careful not to leave it on too long because it can start to strip some paints.
Alan. I saw those on E Bay and if I had the $$ I would have outbid you regardless how high you went. I really wanted those heavys. Anyway, Congrats on acquireing them. They are really beauts. [ 22. January 2003, 20:22: Message edited by: Telegrapher ]
I heartily recommend 91% isopropyl alcohol for that job. And as suggested, don't leave it on too long. Alan, you have the beginnings of a nice-looking excursion train! [ 23. January 2003, 00:55: Message edited by: friscobob ]
