I am searching for a new, Broadway Limited Stock Car with Cattle Sounds.

Who has 1 for sale?

I think your best bet would be to do a “Search” on Ebay, save it and make it a daily item. If there’s any out there, you’ll get a heads up from Ebay… Good luck as they’re as scarce as hen’s teeth!!!

Are you up for an experiment? I haven’t tried this myself, but I have another application for a sound effect, and I don’t want to spend $35-40 for it.

Get one of those greeting card with sound, and a “record your own message” feature. Download some “moo” audio, and put together a sound file. Then, record the sound file into the card. Take the card apart so you’re down to the battery, chip and speaker, and install it in a stock car, with a mercury switch (like in an old-style thermostat) to trigger the sound. It will take some tweaking, but I’d imagine you could get this to work.

That is a pretty good idea Mister Beasley. I don’t think I need any cow sounds (I heard one at my LHS) but, I would not mind some other rail sounds. Any idea what one of those cards cost? I never seen one, but I don’t spend much time in cards shops.

I know this doesn’t answer the OP’s question, but we had a club member with a chickens box car from BLI. It got irritating real quick.

At first I thought… what? cattle sounds? whaaaat?

It sounds like it would be cool for about 10 minutes, then just get irritating.

One member of our club has one, and it gets run in a train during open house. He has the volume turned down to an appropriate level, and it is actually not annoying in a “mooooo-ving” train. If you get one of those idiots that leaves the thing at the factory-default sound level and parks it in front of you for an hour, that’s a horse of a different color.

And why not horses, pigs and sheep too? … Probably best to use such sound effects only during loading and unloading processes.

My at first thought was how silly and toy like can that be. A friend of mine purchased one, and we had so much fun with it I now have 6-8 of them running about. Cows, pigs, and chicken sounds.
