Sound Box - Animals (Dogs) and Industry

A source is in the Scenery Sourcelist, under the electrical section, www.ittproducts.com. Even has demo sounds.

Also, www.allelectronics.com did have some cheap, recordable modules to self record.

I have dealt with George at ITTProducts on several occasions and in my book he rates up there with the likes of Chris Miller at Miller Engineering.. While the modules are not self contained all you need to do is connect a speaker, power, and a jumper to select either continuous or a single playing of the sounds. Instructions very clear with actual pictures and instructions. George is very helpfully and will custom tailor a sound to your liking. I just purchased a unit from him (wig wag signal bell) which he synced up speed wise to match my Lionel signals. He once created a unit of kids playing in the water with some wildlife sounds in the background. A great product line at what I consider a great price. Oh and there is a volume adjustment right on the board. I usually remove it and connect a remote volume adjustment.

WOULDN'T IT BE EASY TO RUN REMOTE SPEAKERS TO THE AREAS WHERE YOU WANT SOUND TO EMINATE FROM AND USE AN IPOD, ZUNE , OR OTHER RECORDER TO RECORD AND PLAYBACK THE SOUNDS?

A quick check on Amazon shows iPods at more cost than this ITT unit and there is no way to remote trigger it but I expect you could add external speakers.

ITT also sells compatible switches and speakers, which makes for one stop shopping.

The range of sound effects is also very good.

Radio Shack used to sell this item, but it seems to have been discontinued.  There are many similar units around, as well as chips for the more adventurous.
