Broadway Limited Imports is proud to bring stock cars back to their lineup with an all-new HO scale 40' wood stock car, available in both sound and no-sound versions! Broadway Limited Imports have built a stock car before, but this is a different prototype that’s accurate for more railroads. Each model has the same basic body, but every road name gets its own separately applied, prototypically accurate nameplates and number boards, along with many other separately applied details.

Stock cars played a crucial role in transporting livestock across North America. These cars carried cattle, horses, sheep, hogs, calves, mules, and other animals between farms, ranches, stockyards, and processing facilities. Hauling livestock was an important source of revenue for railroads, and stock cars could be found on main lines, on branch lines, and in major cities across the US.

Broadway Limited Imports HO scale stock car is based on a C&O prototype and adapted to represent a broad range of railroads and paint schemes popular with modelers. This approach makes the cars a natural fit for a variety of layouts, train consists, and eras, while delivering the rugged, hardworking appearance that made stock cars a staple of American railroading. Details such as nameplates and number boards are prototypically accurate in shape, size, and location for each specific railroad.

These Cars Come to Life!

Sound-equipped stock cars are sold individually, making them ideal as signature cars within a consist, special operating features, or standout additions to switching layouts and stockyard scenes. No-sound cars are available in four-packs. You can mix and match sound and no-sound versions to create a train that looks as good as it sounds.

Sound-equipped versions in prototypical railroad paint schemes feature integrated, motion-activated livestock sounds that recreate the sounds of animals traveling by rail. As the train begins to move, or even when the car is gently jostled, realistic livestock noises begin, simulating the activity of animals in transit. The intensity of the sounds varies naturally with motion, creating a more believable and engaging operating experience. Sensitivity and volume can also be adjusted with the included magnetic control tool, allowing you to tailor the sound to your layout environment.

Special Themed Editions: A Fun Twist on a Classic Freight Car

In addition to Broadway Limited Imports prototypical railroad versions, special themed releases bring extra fun to the railroad. Instead of the standard livestock sounds, these editions feature custom audio designed around each theme:

• Acme Glue Factory, with horse sounds
• Independence Day theme, with patriotic music
• Halloween Season theme, with spooky sounds
• Holiday Season theme, “Merry Christmas,” with holiday sounds
• Holiday Season theme, “Happy Holidays,” with reindeer sounds

These unique themed cars make a fun and memorable addition to operating sessions, displays, and holiday-themed layouts.
