I've never used it and I see from the website that the cost could mount up (maybe you could amortize the cost over a group of like-minded enthusiasts?), but the DecalProfx product from PulsarProfx (www.pulsarfx.com) explicitly states "Make REAL dry-transfer (eg. "rub down") decals with no visible carrier in about 8 minutes. Simply print using a B&W laser (or copier) and convert the graphic or text to WHITE or any of a dozen real METALLIC shades plus do FULL COLOR graphics using any color laser printer or color copier. All of our products come with total tech support by phone with 100% customer satisfaction, money-back guarantee." Don't forget to post a link to pix of your loco when it's finished! Inquiring minds want to know.
