How many of you guys on the forum have Oscar Meyer motorized units? Please note the dog barks are real wiener dogs.
Thanks
Pat
This post is just for fun.

Pat,
The poodle by the door must prefer brats, no interest in the hotdog Weiner Mobile.
John
Nice wienermobile, Pat. But I think I like the little black one jumping upon the couch just a bit better. No Tootsie?
I just ordered one, Looks like it might be a fun weekend project...
So put me down for 1/2 of one....
I had a blast doing this fantasy piece and our two wiener dogs made a nice back ground.

It's been a year since we lost Tootsie.

That news is very sad, Pat, and I'm sorry for your loss. Your new friends will certainly ease the pain and warm the hearts of both you and your family.
Not sure what I'd do if I lost my puppy! But I also know that one day I certainly will. There will be another one that steals my heart
That was cool. At first I thought you had a sound file on it. Then I saw your dogs.
Nice job, Pat. Any "dog" lover (real of otherwise) has to like this one. 
Here's my TMCC version, it sings the Oscar Meyer song, not dogs barking. This was shot yesterday by Lehigh74 at the NPOG open house.
What powered platform is everyone using to make these? I have a few of the wiener mobile cars/models, but would like some advice on what works best as a power chassis.
With my luck mine would probably end up looking like this.

I used the power truck from an RMT RDC unit. It's the old K-Line truck with the embedded motor. I removed the traction tire wheel and used a plain wheel to enhance reliability, no traction tires needed for a single car.
Another option I'm considering for a similar project is the truck from the RMT speeder, it's another K-Line design.

I saw John's buzzing around the North Penn O Gauger's layout yesterday. Fastest thing on the railroad!! It was a pleasure seeing John, the North Penn guys, and Harry H in action! Photo to prove I was there. I'm also surprised this shot didn't break Chuck Fester's camera!!

John's unit has inspired me to add TMCC and lights.
Come on Pat, go the whole way and add the sound too! 
When I did work for Kraft, we owned the dead meat company. I sold the bacon, hot dogs and sliced meats. It was a natural tie in with the cheeses. We had one of those weinermobiles come to an annual picnic. Kraft had about 6 in the fleet roaming the country for different functions.

We end up with one on campus for a week every semester I have been at Penn State. It's strange because they just seem to circle campus then leave...
I am going to add an ERR control and sound system and lights. The odd thing is that all my relatives like this piece of crap better than my expensive engines. Just shows you never know.
No accounting for taste Pat, but I kinda' like it as well, so I guess that tells you something about my tastes. 
You don't want the ERR sound, that's not what the Wienermobile is supposed to sound like!
Here's the sound for this car!

That is awesome, what did you use for the play back sound system
Pat, I used one of the Big Dawgs Greeting Card Modules, and I replaced the three batteries using a little track powered DC supply. I am not happy with the volume, so I'm going to be replacing it with a more robust MP3 player to give me more volume. I'm using the Mini-Commander II with the smoke option, I use the smoke output to run the strobe and trigger the sounds.
If you look at eBay: 171764659608, that's the module I'm using for my upcoming audio player system, it has MUCH more volume. You'll still need a power supply, and it'll have to supply several hundred milliamps, but you won't be lacking for sound volume!
