I don't use lighting in my locos, but many LEDs can be "shaped" somewhat using files or other methods. It may be possible to drill the tip of of the LED slightly, then insert the end of the fibre optic strand into the hole. With such a mechanical joint, regular ca may hold it in place.

This is what I initially thought, and so I promptly drilled a hole down the center of an LED long enough to let a short length of Fiber optic be relatively secure. Unfortuneately, this "fogged" the LED around the hole. The light was not nearly as bright as if i had just held the LED to the surface. If there is a way to polish it clear, this method would probably be prefered.
