Stripping, Detailing, & Repainting Project - GP38-2 (Updated 4/18/17)

I will probably need a lot of help with this, so if you can, please just take a minute or two to offer a little bit of insight.

 

I recently posted a thread asking about detail parts for a GP38-2.  Well, tonight I finally pulled it apart and I already know I'm going to need some assistance with this.  I have a (forum-bought) powered Weaver Lehigh Valley GP38-2 that I'd like to change to a Norfolk Southern GP38-2 lighted dummy.

 

I asked some people on a FB page what to strip it with and their suggestions were Scalecoat Wash Away or 91% Alcohol.  So...
What should I strip this thing with, should I use one of the two above?

What black paint should I use for Norfolk Southern?  (Also, can I use just any primer?)

I'll keep it simple at first because I do not want ask a million questions upfront, but I do have one more.  The previous owner has installed a Weaver reverse board because the electronics were removed before that.  So now I have a Weaver reverse board and the two motors, are these something that are worth selling?  I'm not fishing for a price, I just really dont know if any of this is something people look to buy.  I've included pictures so you can see what I'm working with.

 

Thank you,

Mike
