A few years back I bought a pack of dry transfer numbers that were dead ringers for the old Lionel steam engines.
I got them from a friend who had a hobby store and I cant remember where he got them from.
Anyone out there know where these might have come from?,I need more!
Woodland Scenics carries a line of dry transfer decals that come is variety of typefaces, sizes and colors. RR Roman numbers and letters are available in different sizes, 1/16, 3/32, 1/8, and 3/16" hight.
do “Search”, type in dry transfer
Does anybody know of a way to make your own decals using your computer, an ink-jet printer and some sort of special transfer paper?

I understand that dry-transfers are sort of being phased out, because they are somewhat hazardous to make.
Dry transfers for Lionel: Janice (?) Bennett (of Bennett Dry Transfers) was a licensee of Lionel and produced dry transfers duplicating PW Lionel; I do not believe Bennett is still in business.
Making decals: Set your inkjet printer for photographic printing; purchase blank decal sheets from Walthers, Microscale, or Champ.
J&A Hobbies, Waynesboro PA carries excellent pre and post war dry transfers. warnick@pa.net
