Actually, those tiny desiccant bags are marginal, and the instant you open up the package, they are worthless unless baked in an oven for a few hours before re-use. Also, if you look into packaging requirements for humidity control, you'll find it takes a lot more drying agent than is typically packed with model train stuff to be effective for any length of time.
