Removal Of Factory Printing On Big Thunder Mountain Locomotive/Train Project (LGB Casey)

Came out real nice. I'll have to get one of those fiberglass pens.
Side Note;
Finally got the wheels on those cars but they barely scrape the body of the ride car underneath. So gotta figure that out.
I also think that coupling the cars together will be an issue as well because these are 3D printed and have odd coupler brackets that don't seem to fit any brand of couplers.

Can you tell us what mehod(s) you used in the end?

I'll have to get one of those pens and try the vinyl idea as well.
Because I've never done it, I'm a little scared of chemical removal right now, so I'll start with this for now and use that idea last.
First I am dealing with the front of the boiler. I checked with Train Li yesterday and they are checking to see if they have a different replacement front boiler/smokebox cover (that is removable) that's flat black without lettering. They think they might have one hidden in the back and will call over the next couple days to let me know. If so, that will solve 1 issue. The others I'll have to try a couple ideas and see what works best on the cab.
I'll sure let you all know how it goes with photos if I can and thanks for all the help and interest.

We decided to just overlay the cab with vinyl. It's not perfect but ok for what we're doing. I still don't have a solution for the front of the boiler or smokebox area as Lake George and Boulder still has to be removed.
I've been given several options on this post as well as to simply paint over it but I'm afraid to mess that up since a lot of time and funds went into this project.
Here's current photos.
Colors aren't perfect either but please keep in mind that we're not professionals, so perfection isn't exactly in the cards for us but I guess it's acceptable, if we can get the lettering on the front removed without disassembly, hopefully?
