Want. Make a dining car and have railroad themed dinner parties? Open a railroad themed breakfast and lunch diner? Join it to a giant play set and have the ultimate kids playground?
A guy up the road from me works for Cranemasters. They do a lot of work with CSX. He got himself a caboose and put a couple pieces of rail in his yard. Spoke with him about it and said he was going to get his Lionel stuff out of the house and set it up in the caboose. This would be even biggerer and betterer.
IF it was possible to move it (I'm not sure it is), it would make for an awesome self-contained train layout.

Down the street from where I work (shares the same parking lot) is a business that refurbishes old rail cars and makes them into luxe touring boxes. Very very cool stuff, I didnt know the rail siding was active until I saw a Union Pacific engine with a single car cruising down it one day. Made my day.
