Santa Fe M.O.W. Consist on a Budget
I was starting to think about modeling a (partially) prototype-inspired Santa Fe 1950's M.O.W. consist using older '70's equipment (aka Athearn, AHM, Tyco, etc), starting with what I have on hand.

This photo appears to be older than the period I want to model, judging by the paint scheme of the crane. However it gives me a general idea of where I'm going.
MEMS speaker technology advances - Sound in N and Z scale coming?
I just read an article on new speaker technology that is able to produce simpler, smaller and lower energy speakers. I'm excited to see how that could bring sound to N and Z scale locomotives amongst other potential uses on our layouts.

Enhancing Model Power 250 ft crane
Looking for ideas to enhance the look of this crane in regards to details.
So far I have weathered it and put some brass grab irons on it.

Shopping list for a novice weatherer... anything I really need?
Okay, so I've been into model railroading for a while now and I want to give weathering a try now. I have no weathering experience, and my budget is limited. I want to model the transition era. I'm trying to find any simple, inexpensive, realistic techniques and the supplies that are necessary. So, in other words, I'm asking for help putting a shopping list together.

Good evening to all, I have a question for the everyone.
Does anyone out there have any experience with installing diaphragm’s on brass passenger cars? If you do, could you make a recommendation on which brand I should try.
