Who has the best dry transfers for road names and numbers today? I have 5 engines to re letter and an in great need of decals.

Dry transfers? No one. There are a few printers who still make dry transfers, but you get the pleasure of supplying the artwork--and shelling out some semi-serious cash for the privilege. (I recently had a custom sheet done at $70 for the sheet.) Water-slide decals are far more reasonable. Stan Cedarleaf advertises here, and can provide you with something that will work. Also Del Taparro (G-Scale Graphics) does vinyl lettering. Shawmut Car Shops also does vinyl and decals. I've used all three, and all do good work.

I am currently having dry decals made for Atlantic digital here in Nova Scotia Canada. They cost me $10 for an 8 X 11 sheet. I would suggest you contact your local printing company, you will be surprised what they can do.

Thanks. I'll look into that. Did that include shooting the neg and color matching, or was that just for printing the sheet?

Later,

Local sign companies can do quite a bit of neat stuff these days. Most have the new printers that will print onto the vinyl whatever design you bring in.

I did some talking yesterday- to Shawn and he informed me he had already given a local printer a program with all the road names. Ok guess I don't need the dry transfers after all. But I did like the way they looked when applied.

Word is that Ozark Miniatures has made a substantial investment in the dry transfer business....

Cheers,

That would be really cool. I have 50 or 60 small drawers full of their detail parts.
