Like a lot of people I purchased one of the Bachmann 2005 Sam's Club Xmas special sets. It's a nice Annie with a combo car and a passenger car. But the Christmas decorations, especially the "snow frosted" windows did little for me and I figured it would be easy to remove same. No so much, the "easy" part that is. I tried nail polish remover and the like but is took huge amounts of elbow grease and damaged any paint it touched as well. But with some help here on the MyLargeScale.com forum I finally figured out an easy way to remove the decorations.
