For BACHMANN On30 lettering, 91% rubbing alcohol worked perfectly for removing lettering on freight and passenger cars. Use it sparingly so you don't remove other lettering or background paint. I lightly rub the cleaned section with a light wash of 70% after, followed by a water sponging and dabbing dry. Try to use as little 91% as possible to avoid a "too clean and shiny" area where you worked. You can mask other nearby lettering with a razor blade, and watch that you don't cappilary the alchohol into another letter that you want to keep.
