Running Trains on the Oasis Palms

June 1, 2023 Stephen Leave a Comment

The end of the 2022-2023 season has arrived and with it comes an end-of-year video of a Santa Fe El Capitan passenger train and a Santa Fe mixed freight running on the Oasis Palms layout. The goal this year was to build the table, make the base scenery, wire the track, build a control panel, and get a couple of trains running.

The next season will be Phase 2. The goal for Phase 2 is to install buildings, roads, and sidewalks, finish the remaining crossing gates, and add block signals to the control panel. The Phase 3 goal is to lay ground cover, ballast the track, plant the vegetation, detail the buildings, and automate operations.
