Passenger railcars

Interior design and remodeling

We design and remodel passenger railcar interiors, from a single private car to cars for an excursion or hospitality operation.

Because we also buy and sell passenger cars, we can supply the car and remodel its interior as one project, with one contact from the first conversation to delivery.

We work with private owners, excursion and tourist railroads, and companies that want a railcar for hospitality, events or corporate use.

The process

How a remodel works

  1. Consultation

    How the car will be used, where it will be, and your budget and schedule.

  2. The car

    We recommend a car from our inventory or our partners', or start from one you own.

  3. Design

    The layout, materials and finishes, worked out with you and approved before work starts.

  4. Remodel

    The interior is rebuilt to the approved design.

  5. Delivery

    We help arrange moving the car and setting it up at its new home.

Projects of any size

We're glad to discuss past work and share references directly.
