I'm trying to remove the Boston & Maine herald and "C 33" from this caboose but keep the blue color intact for my own decal i want to add.

I've already tried this method but it didn't work. (i'm not sure if you must be a model railroader subscriber to view this video)

If you can't view it, its a method using Micro Sol to be applied over the lettering you want to be removed, placing scotch tape over the Micro Sol and lettering then using a toothpick burnishing the lettering, then peel off the scotch tape along with the lettering. That didn't work for me so does anyone have any other suggestions?
