So why when I search NZT the busses still don't show up . Something is wrong with their search engine .

Dunno I really never get great results with their search. But if I go to N scale and drop down NZT in the manufactures they are listed.  Just going to N scale shows everything that was just listed.

I'm sure I'll get my cats it's just that I went out of my way to check for them everyday.  :|

Plus there is always Stonebridge Models selling them (not listed yet).

I didn't see the busses either when I searched NZT . What gives , what were they listed under , this sucks .

There are many ways to skin this cat! Here are few:
 Go to MBK's main page, then select N scale from the products menu on the left.
http://www.modeltrainstuff.com/N-Scale-s/3.htm  They are right on top of the N scale items (at least until something else gets added).
In the above mentioned location, on the top of that page, pull down the "SHOP BY MANUFACTURER" menu and select NZT.

There are other ways too...

I have everything in stock but my web guy hasn't been able to get it live yet. Email me your wish list and we'll work out the details, and first come first served.
I also have some red crawlers that will be released soon in conjunction with our new N scale circus line.

I have been checking every day also and this morning I got a call from a friend who knew I was looking and he told me there was only 3 left. Lucky me I got 2 of the last 3 MBK had. Look forward to them arriving. Its amazing how fast cool items like this sell. Great job NTZ Hope more come available for all those that want them.

Will await infestations of caterpillars for LHS!  Should be a Hit here in Peoria, IL = the world head quarters of Caterpillar!!
I am a transplant here. Many neighbors are or were Caterpillar employees; first comment when they see my n-scale layout, "where are the caterpillars." Problem solution now at hand.

Unlikely the caterpillars will be infesting your LHS anytime soon. AFAIK, MBK is only selling them retail. So you'll need to order them online from MBK, Stonebridge or NeedTrains.com, the only three dealers who have ordered them from me so far.

BTW, as of this writing, MBK sold out on their two dozen Caterpillars almost immediately; yellow buses are down from 24 to 12 (clear down from 12 to 5). Karin has about a dozen of each, IIRC. NeedTrains.com ordered a dozen buses and 6 Caterpillars.

Thanks for the heads up on LHS options. I visited MBK and place my name on the waiting list for their next shipment. :)

Well I need one to look used and the rest all shined up on a flatcar. Guess I could have less on a flatcar, but what kind of fun is that.
