removing manufacturers’ road numbers ??? I have an SD80MAC from Kato for which I want to remove just one digit from the road number and put another in its place. Not sure the best way to do this though. I want to try and avoid removing the paint color (black) from the engine unit itself and be sure I just get the digit itself. PLEASE HELP!
Ive heard rubbing acohol, but im not quite sure maybe you should ask your hobby shop
Try using the eraser found on a pencil,rubbing very carefully.
If you have acess to an erasing shield,that would avoid maring the adjacent numbers.
Hope this helps.

I guess by “erasing shield” you mean some tape or a square cut in some thin plastic? Pretty much anything you can cover the adjacent paint with will help. Try the eraser first, and if that doesn’t work, move on to the chemicals.—TANK
An “erasing sheild” is a piece of thin metal - about 3" x 4", with multiple different shapes cut into it. You can lay it down on something to allow you to erase what you want, and preserve what you do want.
Most office supply stores will probably have one wherever drafting tools are kept.
