Where can I buy a real full size defunct train carriage?

[pherlopolus]

I'd be interested in MK2 TSO's in reasonable condition...

[Plgnirb]

Nothing that old I'm afraid. Mk 3's. Sleepers.

[aponting389]

How many do you want?

Mk2 TSO in usable condition 10-15k, we anticipate another 15-20k to bring up to a condition we are happy with. Thats paint and parts only as we are volunteers. Many 100's of hours....

shipping is about £1500-£3000, and you will need some level track to put it on which is probably another £1500 at least.

Depends how much they cost. The one we had was £1000

[Bebee]

I have always fancied an American caboose as a garden office/mancave.

Potentially the scrapyard on Barry Island? Used to be Woodham's I believe, no idea if it's still around.

Woodhams closed in the mid 90s, and they had locos not carriages

In case you don't know, here's one in Northiam, E Sussex http://www.railwaycarriageholiday.co.uk/the-carria...

And a cafe in a nearby garden centre http://www.railwaytavernrestaurant.com/Gallery

They weren't just locos though. The reason many locos 'survived' was because Woodhams' were so busy Cutting up wagons.

There are a couple of completely stripped Mk1 coaches on the Great Central Railway, but I don't know what they intend to do with them.
