    I have some Aristo-Craft loco and cars (Pennsylvania) that are in barely used condition.

    I am not familiar with this scale. What would they be worth?

    Good question. I do not know of any site which might provide a specific number. A Google search might find the original retail price. Then a search of eBaY, might give a hint for what some are bringing from bidders.

    Thanks Boxcab. I had tried eBay but was putting in "Aristo-craft" but it seems like the listings are all under "Aristocraft". Guess its all in how you spell it. ;)

    It is. And sometimes there is no "f" in aristocra...ft.
    Depends on version.
    Early ones, you can't hardly give them away. Hard to tell for sure from your pictures.
    I had a late Mikado (also referred to as a Pacifikado due to a new chassis under the stock Pacific boiler) I gave away for a hundred bucks.
    Nobody around here wanted it.
    The market for LS trains is soft, moribund...almost non-existent.
    Always be careful determining value from evilbait.
    Sometimes it is a very good idea to show the end of the box with part number if you have it. Or, ask for clarification on how to determine version.
