The sad truth is that railroad cars make bad buildings.
They have little or no insulation.
When they sit for long times water pools in places that it didn't when it was in use. This leads to rust/rot.
They have lots of little nooks and crannys that wasps and hornets build nests in.
Bats love to get inside these things.
And that first step up is a real long one.
For my money, I would suggest building a building. Something like a Grizzly flats station. HO model found here. New construction is cheap compared to the cut and fit work of restoration.
and it's just more comfortable.
In any case good luck
(I think you will need it)
