Reply to "Any way to make a scuff mark look better?"

Norton is on the money you cannot polish scuffs out of flat or mat finishes if you want to keep it flat. I cannot tell from the low rez photos if the scuff is below the prime surface of the paint or standing proud. You might side light it a bit so the scuff is better delineated. Your lighting is a bit too flat and diffused and could use a few more pixels.   You might try laying a piece of packaging tape on top of it and pat it down with the soft part of your finger tip. Do not try and bone it down with your fingernail or any other hard object. Just use the soft part of your finger tip then slowly lift the tape up don't pull the tape up at a sharp angle or back over itself. Slowly !   If it is a deposit of Styrofoam you will pull some of it off each time you press the tape down and pull it up.  Guess I'm lucky never had a Styrofoam box make that bad a scuff. Was the loco in it's box, giggled around riding in an automobile  ? Or perhaps some foreign substance between the loco and the box ?  Do you have a waterpik ?   Good Luck !  j
