One practical consideration: dry transfers are a thing of the past. If you are starting now, I'd advise learning to use water slide decals, that is, the normal decals made for modelers. In my opinion, MicroScale makes the best, but they are not producing S Scale sheets any more. Some HO or O sets can be used in S. It is an easy process to get custom decals made.
