Kato Morning Daylight Passenger Cars
In the 1940s, Southern Pacific's Morning Daylight was dubbed "the most beautiful train in America". Decked out in vibrant red and orange paint, it streaked along the California coastline from Los Angeles to San Francisco and back. Kato has faithfully reproduced the Morning Daylight coaches and the GS-4 locomotives that pulled them, much to the delight of N scalers and the envy of railroad modelers in other scales.Features

Optional Accessories
Kato offers interior lighting kits for their passenger cars. These kits use bright LEDs instead of incandescent bulbs to prevent warping of the car's shells. A single kit lists for $10 and a six-car set is $50.Kato's kinematic close couplers hold the cars close together on straight track and allow them to expand on the curves. This type of coupler has been available before in Europe, but is new in the United States.
