At the hobby store this weekend, I saw a book titled "Realistic Animation, Lighting & Sound : 21 Projects for Your Model Railroad" by Kent J. Johnson (Kalmbach Publishing Company; ISBN: 0890243387). It looked like it had a lot of crossover potential for modelers of all genres. The nice thing about lighting a diorama is that you get more control over its appearance.

There was a technique for simulating fire using a discarded radio that was particularly interesting.
