    Pine Sol / Alcohol Trick

    I am about to try this to get some logos off of a locomotive to decal for myself. (I've never done this before.) I was wondering once the ink comes off, can the Pine Sol or alcohol get into the plastic and soften or damage it or the underlying paint (if it is painted), or does it pretty much...

    Thanks for the pics and info! That's what I thought it was, but I wanted to make sure since I didn't see it on the L&N in the pic I linked. That one must have been a Baldwin, or at least it didn't show up in the black and white as well.

    Yep, they sure are nice. Out of my price range at this point in time though.... Little background on me.... My great grandfather worked for Tennessee Central, and my grandfather worked for L&N. My grandfather helped be build my 2nd layout after riding the Autum Leaf Special. He came up...

    Any pics of her are welcome! There's a big place in my heart for 611. I got to ride the Autum Leaf Special behind her in the early '80s.

    Thanks for the pics bjdukert! Sure is a fine looking loco. What is the red "diamond" on the smokebox? I think all I've seen have that, but I haven't noticed it on the L&N. A good example of the L&N one is linked below. I'm sure I'll have to make the decals, but it should be just lines and a...

    I was wondering what the differencies are between the "Rail Fan" and non "Rail Fan" versions? I've compared the pics I can find on them, and I can't tell what the differencies are. I want one for L&N, and I haven't been able to find one. So, it looks like I will need to "make" one. Is...

    Dilemma...?

    Thanks everyone for the replies. My decision just got easier.... I was drawn to it because of the cost. I asked the store to tell me what was included and if the price was current (website not updated in a while), and they told me they were sold out. I was trying to hold off until I got the...

    Dilemma...?

    Hey Everyone, I'm new to the forum, and I'm looking at getting back into the hobby after about a 20 year hiatus. I'm looking at building a layout in the next year. I have a LOT of my old stuff (locos, cars, buildings), but I will need to buy track and turnouts. Most of the locos still run...
