At home on a train

Pat and Ronald Thomas (not live) in a caravan, but their home (travel) more miles than any other house in Britain! Their house (make) from a pair of Victorian railway carriages, and they (live) there for ten years. ‘I (not want) to live in a train at first,’ admits Pat, ’but when I (see) that this train had a garden with a stream, I just (fall) in love with it. We (buy) it from an old lady, and she already (do) a lot of work on it. But there is a lot left to do and we still (make) improvements.’

Visitors often (surprise) to see how spacious the house is. All the dividing walls (remove), so now the rooms are about fifteen metres long.

Pat and Ronald (pay) £68,000 for their house. Recently they (offer) more than £100,000 for it, but it’s not for sale.

‘I (discover) more and more about the history of this train all the time,’ says Ronald. ‘It (build) in Swindon between 1855 and 1875. We (work) so hard to make it beautiful that I don’t think we ever (sell) it,’ he admits. ‘I hope it (remain) in our family forever’.
