I am planning on installation of a MTH Harley dealership building. Anybody give me ideas about on how to make it sound like a Harely. Thanks for the help in finding the bikes they are on the way.

You can install a speaker inside and wire it to a MP3 player and record from the web the sounds you want to playback. There are thousand of different sound files on the web.
Contact George at...
Tell him what you want for a sound track...I'll bet he'll have a sample for you to hear within a day or two. Usually it's no additional charge over his regular sound module pricing.
Some time ago I needed a good tugboat soundtrack. He synthesized the throbbing engine with sloshing water, occasional seagull squawks, and a particular whistle toot sound I wanted for my tug (named "Scuphee", no less). George nailed the first sample within a day or two!
He'll personalize dialog, too. A friend had a hobo scene with a derelict boxcar. There was a hobo figure sitting inside the doorway. If you closed the door, it would trigger the soundtrack which called out the names of the owner's train buddies to open the door and let him out!! Very cool!

Clem,
I can also vouch for ittproducts. I corresponded back and forth with George before I selected the sound board for the RR Crossing sign that I built a couple of months ago. He is very friendly to work with and will come up with whatever you want - or adjust anything that he has.
You will enjoy working with him. Enjoy your Harley dealership.

I highly recommend this company. They worked with me to create a sound track for pouring steel. I'm very impressed.

Thanks for starting this thread. I am also looking for a custom sound set to go with a new train station complex. Your post is very timely.
This sounds like a fun project
Look I know this is in no way compares with the product KD links us to above, but Radio Shack has a neat little sound board that runs off of a 9V battery. It comes with a little mother board, about an inch by two inches, a battery clip, a little speaker on a 12 in line and a remote play button on a 12 in line.
Press the program button on the mother board and record anything you like for about fifteen seconds. You have to speak into it, or play a sound recording into it's on board mic.
Then everytime you press the play button it replays your recording over and over again. The thing only cost about twelve dollars.
The two big draw backs is that the sound reproduction is only ok, but weak and it is not adjustable. But, it can be heard clearly from five or six feet away. Also if you press the program button on the mother board just once the recording is gone brother and must be redone.
But in a pinch and for money it is hard to beat.
Have Fun!
Thank you everyone
I talked to george at ittproducts and my harley sounds are on the way. Wow what a lot of different sounds, I had a choice of two soundtracks, he emailed the sounds so i could hear and choose what I wanted. Thanks KD
