How can Kato make a carriage lighting kit that is simple to install, does not flicker and you can fit lighting to about 5 carriages for the cost of One Marklin kit?

As guideline for us who don’t want to end up with the same conclusion, I would appreciate if you could add the article N.o:s of both the Märklin and Kato products?

That's what I did. I have a reed switch in each coach and can turn each one on with a magnet. I use the sets from Layouts4U as these come with reed switch, battery and holder all for about £6 per coach.
