Right, pictures this time:
Front view showing buffers removed. From this angle, it looks very much like an Alan Keff steam outline loco...
Rear view, showing where I started to remove the lining with my thumbnail!
Buffers removed, the piece of wood it is on will be made "smooth" and will be used for the dumb buffers.

neither could I, I gave it a scrape with my nail, and it just comes off, although in the right light conditions, you can see an outline if where it was. I might just remove the MSS logo and writing, and leave the lining...

Maybe some cheap warm H2O with washing up liquid will do it.

You mean the rivets on the front of the smokebox thing at the front? They go right through, you can drill them though, They don't have to be steam tight
