Changing loco numbers

Model Railroader General Discussion (Model Railroader)

I have two Spectrum Decapods and would like to change the last two #'s one one loco. I would like to remove these digits rather than paint over them. The reason I ask is because not all methods work on all manufactors ink or paint. Any experiance on the Spectrum series would be appreciated.

Just finished the removal of said #'s. Isopropyl alcohol and a pencil eraser worked. Patience is the key.

Thanks for the heads-up on isopropyl alcohol. I have a couple of Spectrum kitbashes that need their original numbers and railroad ID removed (a patch job would have been most unlikely, given my prototype.)
