How to strip the paint off of a toy car without soaking it in something? (pics included)?

I have thomas %26amp; friends train set that I want to restore for my 3 year old son.the vehicles are in pretty bad shape with the paint peeling off. I want to strip the paint in some parts without having to soak each car because they have plastic parts and other parts attached with rivets that I really don't want to remove if I don't have to.





Basically, i just want to strip the paint off in some places. Please tell my what type of materials I need and what is involved in the process. I will choose BA.





Please help, my son is really excited and I don't want to do a good job!

Scrape or sand, but make sure that the original paint isn't lead based. If it is you'll have to take it all off. You can use ';Dads'; stripper- a spray on liquid that can be removed with toothbrush and rinsed with water.
One other method would be to buy a rotary tool. Something like a Dremel. Use a wire wheel on it. Not only will the paint come off, you'll have clean metal left behind to paint on.
Kelly has good suggestion if you want to restore them. However, they look like they might be collectibles and may be worth more in their current condition.
