Worthy addition to your passenger fleet
You're likely already familiar with this product, as similar versions have been released from Kato before, but I'd like to emphasize the fact that the Ver. 2 kits have a different color LED much closer to the warm white of an incandescent bulb, whereas previous kits had an almost blue hue that could be changed to a warmer color by use of an included color filter. If you add the included optional color filter to the Ver. 2, the warm white light becomes a much more yellow, almost orange color, perfect for modeling early passenger cars. Highly recommended addition to N-scale passenger cars.Read full review...
Kato 11212 lighting
Instructions are poor. Lighting once install is not uniform. Allot of money for what you get. I have the Kato passenger cars so I need the lights. Sorry.

Best interior lighting for N scale passenger cars, period.
KATO products are easy to use and reliable - this set is no exception.
Unlike most other brands, you do not even need tool to add light to your KATO passenger car. Everything is snap-on with locating tabs. As long as you handle the parts carefully to avoid bending them, your passenger car will light up evenly and brightly (with choice for white or yellowish light).
I have almost 30 cars with KATO lighting. All working great except the Amfleets - but the problem is with the truck design and not the light.Read full review...

Easy install into Kato passenger cars
Once installed, you will need to be meticulous in cleaning your track, wheels, and any electrical pickups on your cars. This was the cause of flicker on my setup, but good track work and clean contacts fixed it. There are also a couple posts on train forums for simple capacitive circuits you can add to the car if flicker remains a problem. Have fun!Read full review...

Easy and quick to install!
This is a super companion for Kato passenger cars... Very easy to install, gives a nice steady lighting to each car, and the purchase of the six-pack lighting kit is your best value! I recommend!

Makes Your Train More Realistic
Kato has made this hobby really fun! I do suggest watching a video on YouTube on how to install these. It takes about 5 minutes to install these, and they are actually really easy to install! If you run your train on DC, the lights will stop when the train stops. When you apply throttle, the lights will come on. They will remain illuminated if you run your train on DCC as the electrical current on the tracks is steady. Its alot of fun, and I highly recommend these light kits!Read full review...

A well engineered product that enhances Kato passenger cars.
A well engineered product that allows you to light up to 6 Kato n scale passenger cars with a bright white light typical of modern equipment. If you want a yellower light use the model 11-214 kit.

Makes KATO passender cars stand out
A little "fiddly" to install because the windows and light panel tend to fall out when reassembling the car, yet nothing that can't be handled with tiny drops of superglue and patience.
