Thanks guys!
The markers are "paint" markers, and judging from the smell, are not acrylic...! They are actually very mild, but are solvent-based. They don't attack the plastic though, but they are glossier than shown in the photos. DullCote will go over all - hopefully not fading the chalks too much, or making the markers run.
I agree that tagging is a criminal activity - no matter how artistic the outcome. I don't model current day, so my cars will be marked up with chalk marks, not grafitti. These cars however will run on a friend's current day layout, and he's quite happy with them.
The headlight is attached to my Bachmann Spectrum 2-8-0 into which I am installing sound.
