There's one story I'll never forget, it 's some 30 years back now, I was 15 yerars old and had a small H-O layout, mostly Fleischmann stuff ( I live in The Netherlands, Europe ) <br />I got hold of a rare steam railcar from a manufacturer ( Merker + Fischer ) that was very exclusive in those years. I paid a lot of money for it and I wanted to paint it for my own fantasy railroad company. <br />I asked a friend how I could get rid of the paint on the model so that I could paint on a paintless shell. He advised me to put the shell in a jar filled with car brake-fluid, that would probably take the paint off.... <br />I did as he told me and after one day I took the lid of the jar with the shell and brake-fluid in it......all that was left from the shell was a molten ball of plastic.....[:(] <br /> <br />Ron
