Classic American Boxcar

SHELLS START AT $30k (NOT PICTURED)

Presenting the American alternative to the popular European Shepherd’s Hut. Our Classic American Railcars are built from the frame up like their 1880s predecessors, the 3’ narrow-gauge railcar. Classic timber framing joinery and diagonal bracing are held in compression through solid steel rods from the roof all the way to the lower steel frame. This construction made the railcar rail-worthy and long lasting. Our version encompasses those details and level of quality. Railroad companies constantly repurposed their “rolling stock” when needed. We are inspired by that resourcefulness. Not only is our product bringing a new purpose to the classic railcar design, but we love to repurpose wood and architectural features as part of the interior design. Our products embrace American history and the architecture that has defined it. We use our prototype Classic American Boxcar as our mobile idea showcase.
Our Classic American Boxcar can be outfitted however you need it. Whether it be used as a place to spend the weekend or in some cases a place to live, to vending space, workshop, mancave, sheshed, commercial space. You name it!
These heirloom quality custom builds are designed to last and built for you.
With every purchase comes a fully rendered design prior to the build so that we are all on the same page and you know what you are going to get.
Our basic model shell starts at $30k and goes up from there depending on level of completion and appointments.
