Model Forum / General / Railroads / May 2004FiberOptic material
Anyone know where to get fiberoptic material? I've read some great articles on use, but they fail to say where to get a supply from. Any ideas folks. I believe I got mine from Walthers.

Funny you should ask that, I just ordered a fiber optic sample kit from http://www.fiberopticproducts.com. I had the same problem, took some digging to find a source with a sample kit of plastic fiber.

Mike Tennent "IronPenguin" Plastruct makes some fiberoptic stuff in packages. I got some at my local train store. The also sell some "flourescent" fiber optic products. It is supposed to take up light on the length and emit it from the ends. I've not tried it, but it sounds interesting. Ed. >> Anyone know where to get fiberoptic material?

I don't know if it's cheaper, but how about those little fiber optic "magic lights" that they sell in flea markets and dollar stores? The ones that are a small flashlight with fibers sticking out the end. FB yes that flashlight material is fine actual fiber optic cable is glass and calls for special tools to gut and construct ends nd is actually used to carry laser projected light btw i am a cetified fiber tech for charter comm > Anyone know where to get fiberoptic material?

Mike, if you would search archives of this group and rec.models.scale group and look for "plastic fiber optics" You will find many sources. I personally posted some good links in the past. I used to get them from BL Hobby Products (from hobby shops and from Walthers). And many electronic surplus places sell them. The ones I bought were .010", .020", .030", .040" dia. I have some short .060" stuff too. Peteski > Anyone know where to get fiberoptic material? I've read some great > articles on use, but they fail to say where to get a supply from. Any ideas > folks.
