Hi all,
New member here, I've been a long time commuter and passenger rail fan, and am currently in the planning stages of a SEPTA themed HO layout set on a freelance line in the Bucks County PA area with shared trackage rights with CSX, shared assets, interchanging with Pennsylvania Northeastern, and a little bit of NEC in there...
My wife and I are currently in the planning stages of relocating to Bucks or Montgomery County within the year (job permitting), where she is originally from, and the layout is on hold until then. Right now I'm trying to build up a decent SEPTA fleet and working on weathering and detailing rolling stock.
In the real world I run a small media production company (www.newtrend-media.com) having quit my dead-end job in August 2015, and enjoy photography, railfanning and muscle cars.
- Matt

Welcome to the board,believe you might have a prototype of sorts to follow,the SEPTA route to Westchester PA,a former PRR branch line,that was part of the 11kv catenary network out of Phila. Septa cut back service to Media,due to "lack of ridership"and horrid track conditions left behind by PC. There's a shortline attempting to keep freight service "alive" to Westchester Pa.
