I'm not looking to model subways, but I do look at the offerings. I'm surprised that I have not seen more of SEPTA, PTC, etc.

Hello !!
Well, I have posted my Philly modeling stuff seen shown on my "O-Scale" traction layout here before -- don't remember it getting a lot of interest -- been in Philly since 1968 and still here in the very far N.E. section where my home and layout is. Here are a few sample photos below -- and for more photos here BELOW is the link to its FLICKR Album of my Philly models and scenes
NOTE: original Link was just removed -- this is the proper WORKING LINK below:

it does remind me of philly, many years ago. very impressive rendering.
many years ago I remember leaving a center city meeting on vine street extension. raining as I entered and by the time I got to Schuylkill river bridge it was freezing rain. I was in left lane preparing to turn on u turn for Schuylkill expressway south. I was barely moving and slid into center guardrail and lost my front hubcap. (car only few months old). stopped, opened door and picked up hubcap; which was just outside door. I was only car on freeway. I slowly crawled over river bridge and saw to my horror, 3 philly police trucks, parked just off left lane directly in front of me. if I was not crawling I can only imagine what would have happened. (frank Rizzo days). nobody wipes out 3 philly trucks and walks away unscathed. eventually and slowly made it home. trolley tracks in street do not help in ice storm.
