Did Aristocraft show at the York Meet?
Did anybody including Trainworld have any bargain price on the Aristocraft "G"scale PCC trolleys?

Neither Aristocraft nor RMT was setup at the York Meet.
From my observation Trainworld brought less product to sell than in past years.
All I know is that I received notification this afternoon that the Aristo-Craft 1:29 PCC I ordered with the code they sent to fans back when the announcement of their closing was first made, shipped today. Got a Baltimore model that should go well with the Bachmann 1:29 scale Peter Witt car (also Baltimore livery) when it is eventually released.
Nicholas Smith had the AristoCraft 1/29th scale PCC cars decked out for Philadelphia Transportation Company (PTC) at what struck me as a reasonable price. I can't remember the exact amount and I don't have any basis for comparison but I did not get the impression they are being "blown out." If anything, they may increase in value now that the pipeline has been turned off.
Hey Al,
We brought very few G scale items to the show (Less than 5). We feel that mostly O gauge consumers attend the show so we try to bring as much O Gauge. All of our Aristo has been selling like crazy because consumers don't want to risk not being able to get it in the future so they are buying it now. Same scenario happened with LGB. Aristo was not there.
Best,
