Fibre optic Store .comHi All,If you have ever thought about using fibre optics for your models/layout heres a good link to a supplier. A supplier on ebay charges a lot more than these guys the uses are endless eg: headlights on cars with the light source under the board .... loco lights where normal LED'S /bulbs are to bulky etc. http://thefiberopticstore.com/FOS-mainpage.htm# Some loco applications http://thefiberopticstore.com/Projects/John-FO-Loco/Train-Misc.htm Waiting for my order to arrive

Yes I've thought about it, but I'm scared I'd stick some of the fibres in my fingers. Very hard to remove as I remember. You know what I'm like with knives.

stick the fibres in your fingers Poliss  you must have very open pores 
Seriously though yes the multi strand type need careful removal but a new blade run lengthways gently should start off removal of the sleeving ok

Must be too dark to see it. You need a lamp to find it.
