Is it possible to remove the GVT markings on Peco's 4 wheel coaches, maybe without damaging the overall green finish, sorry I'm lazy!!
Hi Roy, i have read several times in the modelling press in articles about re-numbering locos where the numbers are printed on the cab, that a tiny blob of T-cut car rubbing compound/polish (other makes are probably available!) on a cotton bud rubbed gently in small circles will lift the printed numbers without damaging the paint finish underneath. this may work on the GVT coaches, but i must stress that i have not actually tried this my self, so can not state that it will work. some one better qualified may be able to confirm.

Hi all,
I've had success on most occasions with the tool I use.
Berol TYP-E-Rase for ink/type
Mine came from ebay at about
Cheap solution:
Take a cotton bud, find somebody who still smokes, dip the cotton bud in water and then rub into your friends ashtray to pick up a residue of cigarette ash. Rub gently on the transfer and then clean off the grey mess with a clean cotton bud.
Works well with most tampo prints I have encountered as well as for removing "permanent" marker pen ink.

I wonder if it would work with woodburner ash in the same way as cigarette ash?
Try it and see! But don't sue me if it doesn't work, I only speak from personal experience with fag ash!

will keep it mind as my GVT coaches have already been totally repainted.
Roy, have any success removing the lettering?
