I have never been a fan of dry transfers. Like Ken just posted I have rubbed the dry transfers to clear decal film and essentially made them into decals. But I would be suspect of using any dry transfers now because they are all getting old, even in sealed bags. This makes they difficult or impossible to use. I am guessing it has been about 4 years since I heard from Greg Komar that no one is making new model railroad dry transfers now, so how old could the extant S sets be now? Easily 10 years old. I know about the holding the dry transfer to a light to warm it. That only helps so much. The fine data on dry transfers is never as good as on decals.
With my recent dealings with Jerry Glow decals that is the only way I will go from now on for odd cars I want to complete. It involved a few emails with Jerry for about a day and wait about 2 weeks to get the decals. They are NOT $5.00 a set but he is custom making them for you and you get just what you want. They are new and fresh, also possibly made to a car number of your choice. Previously I have gotten just white decals from Jerry. They were surprisingly opaque for an Alps like printing process. I just got B&O Buff - very nice!
