Thanks Music. Sure wish there would be new shows on lottery winners. Not necessarily HGTV, I have had enough of Bromsted lol.

I have a few of those My Lottery Dream Home episodes, just have yet to watch 'em.

I did watch some other show about renovations the other day; they redid an old caboose, but they took my idea of putting a model train to run around the main room, up near the ceiling.

Several yrs. ago, before I came to L.P., I was looking at some properties down close to San Antonio and there was a lovely property w/ nice home and spring fed pond, but they also had a couple of old cabooses as visitor's cabins. There's a resort in Colorado, think it is, that has cabins made out of cabooses and old passenger cars and the most loveliest one of all was the renovated locomotive.

If I had my own dream place, I would have liked to have done that with those same types of cars, but had them all in a line on a set of tracks, with flat cars in between them for outdoor seating, grilling, etc. I bet you could make a nice swimming pool out of an old tank car, as long as you steamed and sandblasted it and plasti-coated the inside.

Too many dreams, not nearly enough money. This next PB JP would do the trick, though!

What a great idea, how cool would that be? An Orient Express right on your own property! Exchange a swimming pool for a spa or hot tub. Visitor cabins all self-contained, awesome idea.
