My missus and I love going to vintage events at heritage railways. One place we always enjoy staying at is Coalport Station. No longer connected to the rail network but not too far from The Severn Valley Railway, of which, it was once a part of, it's railway carriage accommodation is unique. Just what this old steam buff loves. https://www.google.com/maps/uv?hl=en&pb=!1s0x48707e5de94c51bf:0xc0ca409caa4cbcf0!2m22!2m2!1i80!2i80!3m1!2i20!16m16!1b1!2m2!1m1!1e1!2m2!1m1!1e3!2m2!1m1!1e5!2m2!1m1!1e4!2m2!1m1!1e6!3m1!7e115!4shttps://lh5.googleusercontent.com/p/AF1QipNc7jNL_4aTpkmYVmuZLpdOgvl9ZuMESs8QIqRs=w277-h160-k-no!5sCoalport station - Google Search!15sCAQ&imagekey=!1e10!2sAF1QipOgNB4p9s9rqv-iQub2hMRXa8ZUmWQnU7DaZF2r&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjtlID3-OziAhVSVBUIHcTUD6sQoiowDnoECA8QBg
About 40 years ago I looked into buying an old passenger rail car that had been used as a construction/sales/leasing/etc. office at a recently completed suburban business park. The plumbing and wiring, etc., were done and it would have made a quite livable structure without much by way of further modifications.
I was dissuaded by my prospective allies in this effort, mostly because moving it and finding a location that would allow for it would have been both difficult and costly.
