metra lighting

i just bought the new kato metra set for my layout. i do not run dcc. but i wish to light the cars and have the strobes work also. is there some sort of kit i can buy. thank you.

LION has a similar issue with his railroad. Him wants the lights to stay on while train is stopped in station. Him is building a project from scratch, and while I know what I am going to do next, I do not yet know if it is ready for prime time. Time will tell. And I will surely post pictures of it if it works out.

i hope i do not have to go to dcc to get the lights. but if i do any suggestions on which dcc would work with a small layout. i am a beginner and only have 5 engines total.

LION has 1000’ feet of track, eight subway trains, and an unknown number of locomotives and other rolling stock. All 100% DC.

I am working with a capacitor circuit to keep the lights lit. Passengers, regardless of size, do not like to sit in the dark.

In case nobody has said it, welcome to the forums!

LION does have an incredible layout and he is a very resourceful modeler. I still don’t understand why he can’t refer to himself in the ‘first person’. Oh well, he is reminding me to be tolerant of others idiosyncrasies. To each his own!
