    A while back I saw a JNR caboose that had some actual lights in it. I'm sure someone here can point me in the right direction. Thanks

    I have a NA (Santa Fe) cupola caboose from Kato that has the ability to be lighted but not aware of any JNR. You might have to customize your own to do that.

    I'm looking to use the JNR one by adding a cupola to it for the G&D layout.

    That's the exact idea. The little JNR one has end lights that run off of track voltage.

    These are two Kato 2 axle cabooses that have marker lights at each end that are directional. The side door one and the regular one did not have cupolas, those I added. Kato also makes a American style four axle caboose that is illuminated.

    John, those are the ones! Do you remember what model numbers are names they bore so I can find them?

    Here is the caboose I have 186-0310. I've yet to light it but I believe the same setup as their passenger cars works.
