This image came from a group on Facebook and is something I'd love to seriously consider for my next house. How would one make this happen? Any ideas of the costs involved in purchasing such a thing, for transporting and I assume craning it into position?

Tell the wife you're buying her a Hoover.  Better than a Brush.

That's a great article from my original neck of the woods; my dad was born in a converted railway carriage house on Felpham seafront 4 miles west of Pagham in 1948! He'll love to see this, thanks for the find.

Looks like the people at traincabs.co.uk have taken these away for preservation. Shame as they were only down the road in Stockport...!

I pass a victorian carriage everyday  on the  way to work, it's in their back garden as a summer house. There are Many within 5 miles of me such as this one.

The one on George Clarks small spaces is one of them.

Most however are now entirely bricked in.
