Hello everyone:
I would like to know how you are using fiber optics? I want to experiment with them on my layout. Here are some questions I have.
1. Do you use one light source?
2. If you do use one light source. How do you get the different colors for signal lights?
3. I have installed fiber optics in schools. I have never seen them(fiber) painted. Can that be done?
4. How do you attach it to your light source?
When I helped install fiber optics for a local Tech College. We use $1Million test equipment. The light source has to be right on for telecommunications. Plus we used lasers. The machine that cost $100thousand to put the connectors on. So I want to know how are you doing this cost effectively? I have been using L.E.D.'s. They work out great. But I would like to brag that I have fiber optics on the layout too! PLEASE help!!!!
