Well --- First, determine if the numbers are a decal, or were pad printed. Next, is it a lighted number board, and clear plastic? or is it unlighted, and safe to scrape or sand.
Decals can sometimes be removed with an application of Walthers "Solvaset", decal setting solution ( won't damage a clear plastic board ).
Another method is,Joe's Model Trains, paint and decal remover. I've used this one to remove numbers from factory painted rolling stock, so a pad printed number board could be treated the same way.
Actually, in the case of a lighted number board, a little gentle sanding, or, and I like this one better, Clorox Softscrub
( without bleach )can be used to "polish off" decals, or some painted numbers.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
