If they are similar to the PSC models, the lettering might be rubber stamped. That is a different paint, or ink, than the paint on the locomotive. I have had GREAT success using acetone and Q-Tips. Just dip the Q-Tip into the acetone and swirl around the letter. POOF! gone.

You may have to touch up the paint just a tad, but it the acetone works, you won't have to sand the lettering off.
