When I came across this old 1969 Queensland Rail workers van, it was lying in an overgrown field with the roof partially collapsed. A friend of mine had been hoping to live in it before a huge dead tree fell on it and halted her plans. I dragged the carriage – all 14 tonnes of it – out of the muddy paddock and moved it to a friend’s property where I worked on it for six months.” – Matthew de Boer via Small House Bliss

I could easily live in this little home! I grew up next to the Erie-Lackawanna railroad and love all things train.
It is adorable.
The inside looked great. Is there running water as well?
Thanks for your kind comments. Yes running water in the kitchen, as well as a stovetop, and power throughout. If you’d like to see more photos, check out the Little Red Train Carriage fb page.
Thanks Matt!
