NZT's other upcoming release: vintage Caterpillar D2 crawler

[sirenwerks]

Nice idea. Dont forget those early Cats were more for farming than
heavy construction. I hope they do well and you can do early HOLT
and BEST tractors too and maybe some nice combine harvesters and
some steam tractors would be a great addition to n scale. 

Farm implements would be great too, whether assembled or as flat loads.  And CoalPorter's harvester suggestion is a ++

Are the "lift arms" the rig that's on the unit at the beginning of this video: http://youtu.be/k6N9rJmad6s

EXCELLENT!

Looks like another hit Mr. Smith. Are they going to be available in grey or other dark color? I want to paint mine and a primer-colored resin (or even black) works pretty well, otherwise I can work with the yellow. Where do we buy?

They will be yellow. Dealers will be announced.

In construction? Without a cage?

On farms. But, I admit, many have added cages over the years.

DKS, you will need to bring out your really nice Z-scale 55 gallon drums in N-Scale. Those old Cats consumed copious amounts of oil!!

Excellent 55-gallon drums are already available from C in C (cast metal) and Grandt Line (injection molded plastic). I see no need to make duplicate products.

Will there be any more vehicles? Maybe conversion kits for the Atlas LNT 9000 to single rear axle, box truck or oil truck?

I could really use several home heating oil truck bodies for Athearn C and Atlas LNT cabs.

There will be more vehicles forthcoming, although I can't predict what or when at this time. However, I have had my eye on home heating oil trucks for a while, coincidentally...

A modernized oil tank would be great. We have older oil trucks from CMW, Magnuson anf I think GHQ had one, but these were all the 60's style with a hose closet rather than the hose spool. We could really use one with a hose spool. These have been around for 30 years and would work with anything from the Athearn Ford C, Mack R, Atlas LNT and upcoming Showcase Internationals.
