I used both of the them 'cause sometimes what I need is only available in one
or the other type. Dry transfers do look good when they work i.e. you apply
them positioned correctly and the all of the transfers transfer!
When I use dry transfers, I use a small piece of masking tape as a hinge so I
can lift off the transfer paper when I finish rubbing the lettering but not
disorient the paper if I need to put it back down to fix any lettering that
didn't transfer.
Also, if you prefer decals but the only available lettering you find is a dry
transfer, just apply the dry transfer to a sheet of blank decal paper and
convert it to a decal,

I need to start lettering some rolling stock. I have most of what is available
RTR for the Rio Grande, and I can fill in a lot of the gaps by doing my own. In
some cases I have a choice between decals and dry transfers. Which would you
use? Why? What are the pros and cons? I really appreciate all I have learned
from all of you reading this forum over the last year. Even the arguments are
educational (and entertaining).
