Terry from the article in the 1992 mag. for HO it looks simple, you need fiber opticc cut to the lenghts you need, heat one end to form a bulb, bip it in some two part epoxy to enhance the light, you need campbell street lights you have to cut them and drill a hole for the optics to slide thru and rework the lantern section to accept the fiber optic bulb, then you bundle them all together under your layout cut the ends even and install a 7 watt night light bulb which transmits the light to the lamp posts thru the optic cable. Nice you willnever have to touch the street lights agaun only change one 7 watt bulb. I am looking for N scale lamp posts that I can rework so far the ones I found are to small to drill for the cable, I might have to make them myself. According to the article they throw a nice soft natural looking light on the layout. <br />Beeline
