K Hatton Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 (edited) Hi all, long time no post. I have finally taken the plunge and renumbered one of my Hornby a1 locomotives. I am looking for advice/opinions on how to improve from this first attempt (I have yet to varnish the decals in, would I be ok to use an aerosol for this?) Also is there an easy way to remove the front buffer beam numbers? I have tried brasso on a cotton bud on another body but it has left the edges of the outer numbers and I don't think I'd dare take a blade to such a tight space. All advice/help gratefully accepted.

KDG Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Try a sharpie pen. Really it does work. Just very very gently rub the tip of the pen over the numbers, it takes a while but persevere and the numbers will dissolve. Leaves a nice glossy surface for the new transfers to go onto too. Good luck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDG Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 I should have added, it worked on my Hornby class 73. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
