I hope I'm placing this in the right area but I was looking through an old magazine and searched all through out the internet. I just am unable to find the Trolley. I am looking for the G scale Aristo-craft's St. Aubin Exclusive PCC Trolley in CTA's "Gren Hornet" painted in the "Wrigey Field" scheme. I noticed this is from 2008. If anyone has the Chicago Transit Authority trolley or know of one that I am able to acquire please feel free to let me know.
Thanks again everyone.

You could ask over on Aristo's site , as to when there do in.

Wait !!! --- It hasn't been built. Aristo-Craft did first advertise the PCC car over two years ago. I would like an MBTA PCC.
First the supplier in China changed hands, then Aristo wanted to add "Plug N Play" and other detail improvements. The PCC prototypes have been at various train shows and it looks great. They have been promised to be shipped this year. I'm waiting!

J,
You give no hint of your location in your profile so I maybe posting information that is of no help to you.
However, at the end of the month the ECLSTS (see the Aristo-Craft link provided by Sean) will be held in York, Pennsylvania. Aristo say that some shells for the cars will be on view at that Show. Maybe they will also tell anyone visiting the Show about delivery times.

I'll make sure to add the info into my account today.
Well good thing I didn't miss it. Looks so awesome in the magazine and at the time the only place that was holding it was www.aubintrans.com. So I sent an email and no response yet.
Please keep me posted if you hear anything. I'm really wanting the "Wrigley Field" version (yeah it just has the name change on the top) lol
You really cannot go by advertisers to know if something is available. For example, years ago Aristo announced an SD9, but decided not to make it. St. Aubin, YEARS later, still advertised it on their site, with an Aristo part number.
Your best bet is to watch the Aristo site to see when it really ships from China.
This link will take you to Aristo-Craft and the photos of the prototypes. Be sure to page down and look at page two for larger detailed photos of each paint job. You only want one?

I wondered what happened to the Aristo SD9, love those Espee Cadillac’s, bet they would sell better than PCC cars.
