Pictures to follow.<\/p>\n<p>-Tim<\/p>\n<p>UPDATE<\/p>\n<p>Yes, its been several months since I worked on the HO version and there are a few reasons for that.  One is I started dabbling with an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bronx-terminal.com\/?cat=9\">N scale version<\/a>, which is working out well.  The main reason though, like most modelers, summer showed up and filled up my available time with summery duties.  The completion of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bronx-terminal.com\/?cat=5\">building<\/a> for Fast Tracks also was quite a distraction.  I expect that some time in September I should be able to get back to another section of trackwork.<\/p>\n<p>UPDATE #2<\/p>\n<p>Well, its been exactly a year to the day since I started the post on Part 7.  After a few distractions (building a barn, painting complete interior of said barn, moving Fast Tracks in said barn, repairing landscaping on 2 acres after barn raising, collapsing in exaustion after completing barn, cleaning Fast Tracks out of layout room, building a modeling shop, building a modeling bench, building a basement work shop, building two Free-mo modules, building benchwork for the Bronx Terminal, taking the Terminal to two train shows, hosting an open house and finally, finishing Part 7 of the trackwork) I was finally able to return to track building.<\/p>\n<p>On to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bronx-terminal.com\/?p=1181\">Next Section<\/a><\/p>\n<p>-T.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sneak Peek.
